Items are awarded to the highest bidders at either a price equal to the second-highest bid or the lowest winning bid. This is also known as Vickrey Auction. A shill bidder is a bidder at an auction like yours with one exception. This person has no intention of buying anything. His sole purpose is to drive the bidding as high as he can without having the final bid.
Shill work for the auctioneers who receive a commission on the total dollar amount that is sold.
Shills are illegal. If you see someone who bids a lot but never buys anything, watch out, he may be a shill. Stay away from this auction.
