Reader, I bought it!

I have only had good experiences with ebay, but I always use auctionsniper.

having a look at the changes ebay does tell you what percentage of the sellers auction that a bidder bids on. For example I just checked an auction for a car and there were 2 bidders who had bid suspiciously often on the sellers auction, one on 100% of occassions, the other 67%, so that would be one to steer clear of. So it seems it is now easier to track this kind of artificial price boosting.
