Is This A Shill?

I bid on something, 1 hour later I got this: Due to eBay reporting the highest bidder as a spammer this item is now available at your last bid price of xxxxx. If you would like to purchase it please arrange payment and collection. If you're not interested I would appreciate a quick message as there is another person who is interested if the item is still available. For security, please keep all communication through the eBay message system. And then an hour or so later I got: Hi (Again) eBay playing strange games removing item after sending second chance offer!! I've been advised by eBay to re-send this as they removed the item because I didn't cancel the transaction from the original suspicious buyer that they had already cancelled the bids from and sent a MC067 notice. Can you believe it??? So sorry for the duplication, but this is a genuine second chance offer. If you are interested (or not), please let me know either way as I have another person interested, but thought it only fair to give you first refusal. Feedback is 100% on 56 items. I am not good at understanding all the possible scams, and I know others here are. Regards Rob
