Shill Bidding is not as bad as you think, just have to have the bidder know the max they will pay and that is it. It is only affects when they pay more than its worth. If they are going to bid $400, then bid $400, not $1000.

Author of this article is quite ignorant. This is called shill-biding, not sniping. Shill bidding is fraud, while auction sniping is perfectly legal and allowed.

This does not have a damn thing to do with sniping.

This is a practice as old as online auctions. eBay has mechanisms in place to spot these bids, though their lumbering system is neither fast nor complete. It is unfortunate that Iraq Museum International found it necessary to create their own term for this, “eBay sniping,” as this is already termed “shill bidding” by eBay and most industry professionals, and “sniping” is something else altogether.
