"Schilling" is having someone known to you "bid-up" the auction in hopes of driving up the price or making others believe there is more interest in the item than there really is.

However, what you're describing in the above-referenced post is called "bidding".
My vote is still schill. He'll end up with the high bid then claim winner backed out and will offer to second highest bidder.
