Do you think this is shill bidding?

Hi Folks, I usually only bid in the last seconds but on this occasion I had to go out so left a bid in case I got back too late. Please take a look at the bidding for item No.111298971280 - 45 bids by the same person! What do you think, should I report it or was it just someone with too much time on their hands?

I don't think so. If you look at their bidding history they are also bidding on something else from another seller. bid history with this seller is 90%

[valu4you2010]

Yes that is the item I was bidding on with 45 bids.

Did you not check the seller's feedback before bidding? Lots of negs for selling fakes.

Sorry, but I doubt you'll be receiving a genuine Louis Vuitton handbag.

Yes I did read their feedback and I have bought genuine bags from them before. My question is - Do you think they were shill bidding on this item as the bidder who bid 45 times has 90% activity with this seller?

Definitely not shill bidding.

Look at the times all the bids were placed.....one bidder would place a bid and the nibble bidder would go in creep up by a $1 or so until she was the winner.  The final winning bid was placed before she came back and forced the bid up in the last few seconds.

Thanks Lyndal, I can't tell myself so just needed someone in-the-know to check it out. Thanks again for your time.
