It especially stinks if they are a newbie with little/no feedback history. Chances are their identity was fabricated just to shill for this particular auction.

The numbers get skewed on bidders that use 3rd party software/services like r***t (22) does because of the number of bids that get put in on a single item. When you've made 200 total bid, but 40 of them were automated bids on a single item, that skews the percentage with a single seller. Doesn't make them a shill bidder.
