SELLERS WHO USE PRIVATE AUCTIONS ARE OFTEN USING MATES TO BID ON THEIR OWN ITEMS TO PUSH PRICES UP.

AND MAYBE APPEAR REASONABLE BUT ARE BIDDING ON EACHOTHERS ITEMS - LIVING IN THE NEXT STREET TO EACHOTHER. -  DODGY????? - I SHOULD  SAY SO....

WATCHOUT FOR THE PRIVATE AUCTIONS - THERE IS NO REASON FOR THESE - EXCEPT TO KID HONEST BIDDERS

EBAY SHOULD STOP THIS DODGE ASAP
