Its hard to say whether thats the case with this one or not.

There is no real way to check as the other bidder has no history - you could check and see what other kinds of things they have bid on in the past. See whether its just from this bidder or not.

Also you have to remember that new ebayers maybe just getting the hang of whats going on. I would be more suspicious if you had gotten into a bid war with somebody like that. I wouldnt think that a shill bidder would bid on their own item to up the price when there isnt anybody to bid against.

They didnt even know you were going to snipe - in this case I would say it was just a new bidder who thought they had won and you sniped from under them.
