If you don't want the card at the price you won the auction, you can call eBay and discuss with them your concerns about shill bidding.

I've had an eBay representative outright tell me that a particular seller has been reported and warned several times about shill bidding in their auctions. I was surprised that they would share that information with me.

If eBay agrees that you were likely the victim of shill bidding, they will let you out of the auction win without any penalty to you.

You simply have to decide whether you want the card at that price or not.

It's very unfortunate, but very little is being done to prevent / stop shill bidding in eBay auctions. If it happens to you and you complain, they will release you from your obligation to buy. However, they will do little to prevent it from happening again.
