Shill or clever. With ebay fees through the roof for every turn you make you can easily run up a big bill with something as simple as a bicycle. What with posting fees and reserve fees quite a bit more then the .25 cents per post that they started with back in 96.

Now if you can figure a way to beat this system, let's say by posting an item at a very low price with no reserve then turning around and bidding it up youself to your real reserve price.

Just wish I thought of it first.
