OK I'm blind, but I'm not closed minded and short sighted.

If the bidders were traceable to him, eBay would have killed his account long ago. They have more information than we do and I mean real information, not supposition or conjecture.

What proof, if any, do you have that the bidders are in any way related to the seller?

I'll ask again... could it be that someone is trying to mess with his auctions?
