ebay Sellers fictitiously signing in as buyers?

Does anyone know anything about sellers on ebay registering fictitious userids as buyers to raise their own bid amounts.

Because ebay's program automatically raises bid prices when another higher bid is submitted, and that sellers know that an initial bid from a buyer is not the highest amount they are willing to pay for that product, I've heard that sellers can register fictitious userids as a buyer and then start submitting bids in small increments to cause ebays computers to automatically raise the bid amount of other buyers.
