We don't know that for sure padi*0409. It is early days yet. I see papermoon.lady's post has been accepted as a solution and that's fine. She has offered an intelligent analysis of the situation no doubt! But possibilities other than her intelligent analysis may exist.

Rubbish 4chan, the bidder was a newbie who was nibble-bidding, had bid on other sellers items and had no retractions - or didn't you read the OP's post and look at the screenshot they provided ???   I'm guessing you didn't read the OP's final post either..............

It's highly possible that papermoon.lady was right. She's an astute poster. But it's also good to know about what goes on with sock-puppets in bidding. 

And I have seen sockpuppet bidders (shills) doing exactly what that displayed bidder was doing. Anyway, this thread  or any other isn't always just about what you say it should be. And the example by skyrider12-au could be helpful to the OP or anyone else that reads this. He's a very astute guy too.

Some years back I reported multiple scam auction to eBay.  There were at least 8 possibly more IDs involved in a lot scam involving multiple auctions.  I've noticed a few things regarding sockpuppet ID.
