Lesson learned; Max bid on eBay

If that happens you could always contact the seller and let them know you were obviously shilled and that you'd like to cancel the transaction, unless you're cool with paying that max bid price of course.

I would wait and see how the auction plays out, but I agree with this advice if you get shilled up.

Thanks for the kind comments and advice. After thinking this over, if I end up winning the auction at my maximum bid I'll be happy. That's all that matters to me.

Either way, I wanted to pass the information along to the board.

I just checked, it's almost up to my max bid already. Check out the bidding! It looks like they're not waiting until the last minute.

Who's the seller.

They seem to be a re-seller. They probably don't have anything to do with the shilling.

I had email conversations with this seller first thing this morning. Here is what happened:

A new buyer (Ebay ID: kesjimjam 0 Feedback) opened an account and bid up several of the sets he is selling. Seller said he called EBay immediately and they told him to contact buyer and inquire about payment etc. Seller gave him 3 hours and he did not respond. He then deleted every one of the buyer's bids and blocked him.
