Basically now in future I'll offer anything to my friends and then bypass TC to ebay myself rather than have a community/epic discount abused.

Sad to see the majority of us TacCommers being denied access to miniatures from our worldwide community because of the actions of a few

These seem suspicious or if they aren't dodgy possibly the stupidest way to sell some warlord titans

I have also recently been a victim of shill bidding. An item was listed at £1, I bid. Another bidder came in and made small increment bids until I was outbid. Then, in the last 30 seconds, they cancelled their highest bid and I won with my highest. I left negative feedback, which the seller didnt like, and informed eBay. The trouble is that holding multiple accounts is allowed. Also, if you report a suspected case of shill bidding, eBay will just check the IP. If the person uses two seperate machines, or a PC and a mobile phone, then eBay wont do anything - partly because they really dont care, partly because they cant prove much, and partly because shill bidding actually benefits them (higher final price means a higher commision to eBay). I am still emailing eBay about this, as the shill account had 100% recent bidding history with the one seller, had a feedback of 7, 3 of which were from that seller, had cancelled 20 bids in the last 6 months and had rarely won anything at all.

Bottom line, eBay dont care.
