It is the same as being at a real auction and the auctioneer using the
wall behind you. I think that happened to me once on a logic analyzer.
On the punters side there is the ring where only one bids to keep the
price down. to defend yourself there put a book bid on and stand in
the crowd stationary and watch the rings expressions.

By its nature of being a qty on a pallet with a picture it was a one
off in my opinion with a shill bid to get as much as he could out of
me.
I dont play those games, be honest as a seller please.
A shill bid on a $10 item? How would that be worth the time and hassle for a
seller?
