Absentee bids at auctions are a matter of trust.
A respectable auction house is not suposed to use imaginairy floor bidders.
Personally I would not be happy to be floor bidder and have some anonimous ebay bidder bring me to higher prices.
Unless of course the auction would not be anonimous and you would be able to check all biiders.
As for chinese items, I like the food. That must be about the only chinese thing where "what you see, is what you get" .
