But this is my listing. Why would other people shill my listing? It’s not like these cameras don’t sell.

Pumping up their listings for the same item.

It could be nothing lots of buyers use guest id's to buy. Could be pumping as stated. Most zero feedback buyers I get pay quickly. I don't think I have had a zero feedback non payer in over a year.

Electronics especially cameras and video games tend to get tons of zero feedback bidders always have but again typically get paid from them.

The one scam that can happen is bid shielding. Two id's are used to bid an item way up then at last moment one cancels their bids

My thoughts too. If there's gonna be a category where someone would set up an account just to buy an item, it'd likely be something like electronics. More than perhaps trading cards where it's full of hobby veteran card collectors using ebay for years.

That being said...cant really say what's going on here. Already a bid retraction 0 feedback bidder. I would be looking for bid shielding as well...see if there are any retractions towards the end of the auction.
