Well this is well known amongst experienced ebayers but probably not new ebayers. It is when a seller bids on their own item just to get more money for it, a good idea some may say but it is against ebay policy to do this.The way i have noticed it is in the following scenarios:- 1) I place a bid on something then within seconds i have been outbid by a user usually with less than 15 feedback, so i usually check other items the seller is selling to see if there is a pattern ie other items being bid on by same user. If this is the case i will report them as its unfair to genuine sellers who always follow ebay policy.2) An item that i have been watching but the bids go to high so i end up not bidding on is then on sale again within seconds of auction ending ie the seller has won his own item!3) Checking a sellers feedback before bidding i have occasionally found that an item that has been sold
