	The Jewish Ethicist: Shill Game
		The tactic you describe is called a "shill bid," because the accomplice is known as a "shill," meaning a collaborator in a confidence game.
		This is an almost exact parallel to the "shill-bid" situation, since the shill's bid is likewise an outright lie which comes to bid up the price by convincing the true bidder that someone else is willing to pay a high price.

		Feedback between shill and seller ID is known as "shill feedback"--a little consolation prize for the seller who accidentally wins their own auction.
		The shill bids outrageously high in order to reveal your maximum, then retracts and either: a) gives some lame retraction explanation like "oops, wrong amount" and bids again just under your max, or b) gives some lame retraction explanation like "don't want it", signs in under another account, and bids just under your max.
		Many times a seller will register his/her "shill" ID with the paypal email, so make sure you check the bidders and see if the paypal email address is registered with an ID that is bidding on his auctions.

	Shill Games and the Online Bamboozle
		1 rreason why online sites may not be willing to pay a shill is that they probably don't need to, there are tons of players willing to play all kinds of stakes online, whereas live games are fewer and farther between.
		When you get 50K+ players on stars, the amount of customers a live casino gets pales in comparison, but I'm sure there are still guys who get paid to play(weather it be rake back or whatever) but probably not at the highest stakes.
		Obviously there is no doubt that many pros will wait for a willing sheep to be fleeced, as in the high limit stud game at the Hustler casino, but good goodly moogly your story is filled with so many untruths.
