No one claims it is. But shilling happens in an incredibly small percentage of auctions.
eBay obviously, and correctly so, believes members' concerns for bidding privacy far outweigh the miniscule amount of negative implications that it creates, especially by the 2% or whatever of eBay members who buy and sell sportscards.
The vast majority of eBay members are casual buyers of millions of different items, not hardcore collectors, and they don't scour eBay several hours a week like collectors do, obsessing over previous sales and which members bid higher.

Yup, and in another case, recently, I jacked up Phillyfan's bid by about $20 because I didn't remember how much feedback he had. Had I known it was him, I wouldn't have bid on the item.

Dammit, hadn't realized that. I used to plant bids on items with no intention of winning, just to see who else was bidding on Gomes cards.
Don't kid yourself schilling is everywhere on ebay not just our small piece
when making more money is involved it always gonna happen. By them taking away this option which was good to at least know your being schilling is now gone. It's just another blow to the honest buyers and sellers on ebay
