cheating on ebay
ermmmm id tell if you want to bid on the item.
well i did bid got out bidded by him now hes been out bidded and i presume hes got to the price he wants as he has now been out bidded
has any1 complained b4 dont want to be a scruge really
i'd complain, it's called shill bidding - very naughty, if he wants stuff to go for a min value - set a reserve, it's what its for!
Anytime i see this happening on items that i want, i report them to ebay.
do u get any come back / tell the seller it was u in other word is it anominos
its on a load of uno t parts

they dont tell, they dont even tell you what they done
I have complained a few times when I have seen it even if its not an item i was bidding on but i am a big grass for the idiots that ripp people off on ebay. one guy had loads of poss feedbacks from loads of different names but they all said the identical thing so he had around the 100 + positives and 100% feedback for items that dont sell like a screw and a nail. he no longer a registered user. I would report it if second chances are offered straight away. I only ever offer a second chance if the buyer has not contacted me after 14 days. and then i will not normally get a reply so item is relisted. it costs very little to relist.
Definately 
it's bad practise and we, as honest caring citezens should stand up to it and report the little blighter!

it makes no difference if you think about it, you bid as much as you're willing to pay, if they then bid on their own items it doesnt mean you have to bid any more, just wait for the item to end and you'll always get a second chance offer unless they wanted more, in which case a reserve would have stopped you winning anyway. i think of it as a dynamic optional reserve
Grass them in - This has happened to me on eBay a couple of times. Pain in the @rse! The user has the same buyer in his feedback 8 times! and has had only 10 sales in total.
In eBay's policy this is considered illegal and as arc said its called "shilling" and should be reported.

I'd report them for sure. 'Bid Shilling' is cheating, and GreedyBay let too many dodgy sellers get away with it. I know one car seller/ dealer who's done this many times, been caught and suspended by GreedyBay TWICE but still they allow him to continue trading. Not only that but they gave him a platinum award for selling excellence, simply because he sold so many items and his earlier dodgy feedback remarks have been removed
But now GreedyBay hide the bidders list names once bidding for an item goes over £100. Great, now it's even easier for a seller to participate in Bid Shilling and not get found out because the general public can't see who's bidding...
Stupid Ebay
