Ok I posted this the other day but didn’t give everyone all the information. Please give me feed back on what you think about this bidding process and let me know if it seems fishy or not. I cause I feel that this is a setup

What is the item #.?

Hmm, yes, a bidder (with 88 feedback) nibbled their way up to just 30 cents below an earlier bid, but then did not re-bid. But that had no impact on the outcome of the auction, which ended with two snipe bids in the final few seconds.

Hmmm, when I searched that item # I had zero results.

I see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Just as @nobody*s_perfect I see an inexperienced bidder nibbling their way up trying to exceed an earlier bid. Then I see that earlier bid beaten by two snipes, the winning one of which appears to be yours.
I'm curious what you found fishy about it?

I have given up searching for listing numbers.
Just go to any listing, and replace the item number at the end of the URL with the number you want.

I'm with @nobody*s_perfect .
This isn't shill bidding.

ok, because it was completed, I didn't check there. Easier if OP just added full link

As far as the bidding goes, I agree with everyone else, nothing looks fishy to me.

Nothing fishy to me either. Whose bid was illegal> Yours or the under bidders?
Just your bid and the under bidder placed max bids near the end.
You came out on top. Congrats!

I had no trouble finding it without a link.

If you plan to communicate to the world (or the eBay world in this instance) you need to have titled this
IS THIS ILLEGAL BIDDING??
Phrasing it in a question, as well as finishing with question marks will be appropriate.
Otherwise, you are just 'stating' that something is illegal.

Congratulations on the win and the 5 second snipe! Nicely done.

The guy with 88 feed back nibbled his way up the list right? Raising the bid over $120. I’m not saying he won the bid or the other top bidder. I’m saying who raises the bid like that on themselves with 7 mins left to????
