Shill bidding on evilbay....

...If you figured out someone was bidding on their own stuff on ebay (shill bidding as they call it). Would you turn them in to evilbay?
Here is the situation. I bid $5 on a boxed total eclipse 3DO game. The auction ended at 1am while I was sleeping. No biggy I loose all kinds of auctions. But I always check the winner. The auction sold for $5.50. After checking the person who won the auction he ONLY buys from the this seller %100 of the time (no one does that) and then I checked further and most of those items come up for auction again from the same seller.
Here is a link to the profile of suspicious bidder...

I contacted the seller and he claims he and his brother had doubles of everything and he just didn't feel like changing the picture.
Would you be suspicious?
