They actually do something about it in the U.K.:

lol. it is funny how people look at shill bidding. some people really find it wormy, while others seem to think there is nothing wrong with it because the high bidder always wins and it is up to them to determine the price they are willing to pay. if the shiller screws up, then they are stuck with the item.

just read the follow up comments about this.

from what i have seen in the past, there are two types of shillers. one is the type that is trying to drive up the bids, and the other is using it more as a reserve, making sure that they get what they want for it or not sell it all. Either way, both tactics are dishonest and against eBay policies.
