sorry mate its normally on with no reserve but as it is hosted by a shill bidder it always goes to his mate, I hate people like this, they make a mockery of ebay

 

[lynall]

Hi W210 whats a shill bidder? a mate who bids it up for him but never completes the sale?

Yep, exactly that. I think it's known as 'bidding off the wall' in a real auction

if his mate wins is, eBay will charge final value fees - it soon starts adding up, not a cheap way of advertising.

They can avoid this by mutually agreeing not to complete the transaction. Still not cheap to list in the first place though so it does add up as you say.

Bidding of the wall i have heard of, but never the term shill bidder thanks .

As far as i know, you can only do that twice with the same buyer.
