During this past week i found a bottle on the bay that i have been looking for. It's nothing special just an acl i want for my collection. auction ends sunday. There was one bid on the bottle by a user with zero feedback. So i waited a day or two and made my bid. I was the high bidder at the time. The other bidder bid 17 more times to out bid me. no big deal. So i contacted the seller questioning the bidder with zero feedback. Seller replied the zero feedback bidder has been an ebay member since 2010 and never bid on anything. Seller also stated he tried to contact the bidder but the phone was disconnected he couldn't get a hold of the bidder suspects it was one of his family members screwing around with his auction. Yesterday the seller contacted me again saying he was going to cancel the zero feedback bids and ban him from bidding. Later on yesterday the seller contacts me again stating the zero feedback bidder is legit talked to him by phone knows his family members , his ex wife , aunts etc. I mentioned to the seller about shill bidding and was told No way it's all on the up and up if i want to complain to ebay feel free to do so. So i asked about the zero feedback bidders phone being disconnected and never got an answer about that. Now zero feedback guy has one positive feedback and has bid on items in the last 7 days.. What do you guys think ? I really suspect shill bidding. Don't know if i should report it or not. Funny how the seller claims zero feedback has been a member for 2 years yet just starts bidding this week. As of this posting im the high bidder on the bottle. Something to me don't feel right about the whole auction
Thanks
