This type of thing, overbidding, thrill bidding, or serial non paying bidder scams, has really been taking off on ebay. Not only the Nike and other high-priced shoes, but apparently trashed the entire strawberry shortcake doll collecting world as well.

Just another way ebay is protecting it's sellers. LoLz!

what the hell is going on?  are there major shoe stores buying shill bidder accounts out so they can over-run (monopolize) the small time sales?  I dont get what is going on, but this is 2 times in a row now I've been screwed over.  ebay is making it too easy to setup new user accounts.
