I've wondered this myself. Seems like it would get expensive to shill bid fairly quickly. Of course they can always say the winner cancelled and close it out but I'd think ebay would catch on if you did this on a regular basis.
By the way, I pretty sure some of the auction houses shill a good amount of the coins on their site. I know of one that does it for sure (as in they told me they did). That auction house generally shills coins up to around 70% of what they feel the coins was worth. One the one hand that doesn't seem like such a big deal, but on the other hand that means you're never likely to catch something that's a great bargain that may have "slipped through the cracks".
