Am I reading too much into it, or is this my first encounter with the everpresent danger of ebay scams?

I believe that yes, someone is trying to scam you, and yes, they should be avoided. The "simon8" thing is too much of a coincidence.


Could he really be that stupid though? Not that I can think of any reason why a legitimate bidder would choose such a name. I suppose if it really was a hoax bidder with a grudge to bear...

Personally I'd report this to ebay as a shill bid anyway. If the seller has determined that the winning bid was hoax then the item should have then sold at the maximum valid bid - not at some arbitrary price set by the seller.
