[US] Automated incremental bidding pattern on local auction site Auction Nation shill bidding or software manipulation?
A user observed a specific bidder (Bidder 308520) on Auction Nation placing automated incremental bids ($1–$5) immediately after human bidders, driving prices near retail ceilings before stopping. The user questions whether this behavior constitutes shill bidding, seller manipulation, or an automated reserve system.
