this happens all the time thats why if the seller doesnt have a buy it now price i bid at the very last second as if i put a bid down days before it will get bumped up by 'his/her mate' and end up paying loads more than i fairly had to

i was looking for a car for a few wks and the bid bumping was obvoius. so many cars get relisted because the bumpers are winning the bids.

I only ever buy stuff on buy it now coz of the bid bumpers, this one was stupidly obvious, 3 bids by the same person one after another and bumped up by Ł1000!! you would think people would look at the bids before bidding.

looks like the "fake" bidder won the auction
whats the chances of it getting relisted in the next week claiming "RELISTED DUE TO NON PAYER"?
