seller told you.

What I think really happened is people found out that there was a shill bidder and so he stoppped it from happening any further.

I would be shocked if the seller didnt know exactly what was happening from the very begining.

Personally after seeing this happpen I would stay away from ever posting a bid on that sellers items.

Kind of reminds me of the BS story of another member that got caught shilling years ago.
