what to do if you find a 'bidding' suspicious

[chrissy_babe25]

im currently bidding on an item. and im finding that im being outbid within a mile second.... it seems very quick to be outbid by exactly 10 or 20cents more even before the page fully loads.
And ive looked at the bidders and they all have names like (eg. a***a) should I be concerned if im bidding in a 'shill bidding' and should I report it?
I really want this item >_< lol heellppp??

FYI found this on a web site re auction snipping: Auction Sniper is the must-have tool for the savvy online-auction buyer. Auction Sniper will place bids during the last few seconds of an online auction,(Sound formiller) what dose ebay think bout such software

so now we know how it is done, not very far on the rest of us is it

ANYONE can use a sniping service, it's not exclusive to certain members... ebay probably couldn't care less if someone snipes, they get their money either way.. It's also not Software, you can just go to a website...

It is fair because it is the highest bid that wins, not the last

It is perfectly possible to manually snipe in the last 5 seconds (or even less) of an auction unfortunately some of us are unable to do so and use a sniping service instead. Why is this unfair? I will only win if I bid more than everyone else so how does it matter when my bid was placed or if I did it myself or used a service.
