Trader Paul Barrett bid for his own items – from cars to pie warmers - on eBay to increase prices:
Vanessa Canzini, head of corporate communications for eBay in Europe, said: "We are extremely pleased to learn of the conviction of Paul Barrett. Shill bidding is illegal and it is important for people to understand that there is not, nor has there ever been, room for illegal activity on our site.But we note that since it started up, they feel that making lots of money from people selling antiquities which have no pedigree legalising them is quite acceptable business practice, even though the places where they come from forbid their sale by law.
