You can cancel the bidder if you don't want sell the item
to that bidder.

Some prof. auctioners paly a trick on your auction.
The most ordinary situation is one prof. guy selling the same
item as you but ending in little later time than you. He use a fake
id to raise your price. It usually happens in last 2 minutes.
There are two 2 advantages for him:
1. He get a customer, the second higher bidder will bid on his
auction.
2. He raise the price.
In chinese, it is called "放鸽子"

When I am selling some expensive items, I met 3 such situations.
One guy raise my palm to $310.00, another raise the c2020 to $710.00.
On the last time, I canceled the fake id without any hesiate and
successful sold my item, although at a lower price. It's better than
wait another week.

So, watching your bidder carefully. Anylsis any abnormal price.

Good lucky.
