What a nice buyer.... but this shouldn't happen on ebay

I don't understand this stuff about how you can get stung by a "schill" bidder. If you have a max amount you're willing to bid on something, stick to it. The seller does not have anything to gain if their buddies bid to a point that's past what you're willing to pay. They owe ebay a fee if one of them wins it.

If you wind up paying more than you should have, it's your fault, not the shills. The guy that backs out on his sale should be banned from ebay.

Some people just don't like the fact that say i bid 200 on something ....it's stuck at 60....then schill bidder trys running to my max.I pay 190...should be happy still..I agree with u..don't put out more than u want to pay....if u want a bargain...bid it at a bargain...u win..great..(happens all the time) u lose ...oh well...on the fees...both can agree to not complete sale...fees returned..except for initial..owner may feel its worth it.....jim
