 Shill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is done particularly when goods of usually negotiable prices—like automobiles—are to be sold; otherwise, it is not very profitable.
In some cases, the members of an organization or the employees of a company may monitor and/or participate in public discussions and groups.
In marketing, shills are often employed to assume the air of satisfied customers and give testimonials as to the merits of a given product.

Wallace Shill and family, a barn 40x56 feet, a granary with 4,000-bushels capacity and a number of other structures as needed.
Shill was more of a witness than an active participant in the very early pioneer struggles in Pawnee County, since he was only seven years of age when his parents came to this region in 1878.
William H. Shill had similar protection for his stock.

Shill Bidding indirectly harms other sellers by making it appear that there is a stronger than actual demand for one seller's product, thereby unfairly attracting bidders to his auction and away from other sellers' auctions.

For the rest of us, the Oxford American Dictionary states that a shill refers to “an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others”.
While I covered the trend of blog marketing, how readers check a blogger’s reputations and so on, the comments left by other bloggers were equally if not more insightful.
The issue is, how far do they have to do before they (either Kevin or the company) move from opinion leadership to shilling?”

 The Jewish Ethicist: Shill Game
If they want to give the seller a chance to size them up they will negotiate; at least that way the chance to "size up" the other side is mutual.
After all, the actual buyer doesn't have to outbid him if it's not worth the higher price.
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.

The figurative use of "shill" as a synonym for "paid promoter" or "apologist" has only been around since about 1974.
Given the pathos of that paragraph, I hope you won't be too disappointed when I tell you that no one knows the origin of "shill." We do know that you're correct about its place of origin.
The Oxford English Dictionary also lists "shill" as an adjective synonymous with "shrill," though it denies any connection between that "shill" and the carnival sense.

If the seller is selling something you want badly and you are willing to pay more than the shill bid, and are willing to risk dealing with a new seller, I would bid on it.
With nothing sold in the last year I would consider the seller a new seller.

 TWO PLEAD GUILTY TO MAIL AND WIRE FRAUD IN EBAY SHILL BIDDING (April 17, 2001)
By creating multiple User IDs, the defendants intended to trick other eBay users into believing that the "shill" bids they placed on each other’s items were legitimate.
In total, the sixteen-count Indictment filed on March 8, 2001 alleges that the three defendants hosted more than 1,000 auctions on eBay from late 1998 until May 2000, and that they placed fraudulent bids on more than half of those auctions.
WALTON and BEACH admitted that the three defendants shielded their true identities from eBay by providing bogus names, postal addresses, and telephone information, and by providing e-mail addresses obtained from free e-mail providers known to collect little or no verifiable information on their account holders.
