shilling?

i dunno.. that's why i wanna know ur opinion. this is what i noticed

that's 4 different ppl. What is an odd to have 4 ppl with same User ID pattern bidding on an item. I wanted to bid so i wanted to ask ur opinion
 
It does look kind of similar, a***5, then a***n, g***8, o***0 or whatever it was. But lots of people use their name with a number because they can't be bothered to make up something else. And I don't think the stars represent the exact amount of letters hidden.
 
No what i was getting at by asking welovelouie if she thought bidders letter***letter were shiller is because they are not. Ebay put the stars there so you cant see the bidders id name!
