Biddons T4 Energy Limited Internet auction site has Shill Bidding and bidding bots to falsely inflate prices Chesire, Internet

On the 30th November I contacted Online Support and made a complaint about suspected Shill Bidding of a user (Name can be supplied with evidence). I was asked by the support â€œWhat is Shill Biddingâ€. You would think if it was an honest site they would be informed to look out for this and if it was (As I Believe) a dishonest site they would be instructed on how, either way a support person from an auction site not knowing what shill bidding is, is quite unbelievable. The very next day all the same auctions came up and amazingly the particular bidder that I complained about was missing from the bids (But there were new ones with the same activities). This site has an option for Bidroids (where you can set an automatic Bid) during the last auction I had placed a bidroid and at one stage of the auction there were 4 or 5 bidroids active. During this stage you would think that it would be one for one bidding but no, all the suspect bidders had one bid each then me IE(Below) Myself Bidder 1 Myself Bidder2 Myself Bidder3 Myself Bidder4 Myself Obviously another way of getting bidding bots to maximize spending on the part of real People I have several Screen shots of different problems and many cut and paste from different stages of the bidding processes to substantiate my complaint.
