Possible Shilling Seller

[smapdi]

I was excited to see Grady Sizemore having his first new cards in 6 years (or 7 if you go by the calendar), but this one got bid up pretty quickly and higher than I'd expect. An exuberant bidder ran it up to $50. Sure enough, that zero-FB bidder has placed 243 bids all with the same seller, Cardsfan0730, apparently also known as StlSportsNut23.

When I see an auction getting shilled like that, I just stop bidding and send the seller a nasty note. And if I still end up as the high bidder and win, I don't pay.

96.5% seller FB too. That sounds like a high percentage, anywhere but ebay!

It is not always the seller. I had a couple cards recently get bid up to the moon and I had nothing to do with it. There is a lot of people out there that like to bid up cards that they own to make them look more valuable.

Yeah, that can definitely happen.

But this "bidder" had 100% bid activity with the seller...
