so the other day... I bid super high on an item to guarantee my success in attaining said item.
was outbid by $2. the 'winning' bidder was the same guy who bid 5 times in a row earlier today... driving the price up $25 each time in under an hour... an hour later I get a second chance offer... this happened last time I bid on multiple items from this seller. so this time I logged in as my gf to bid. I would have bought four items from this seller that day if he hadn't messed with the first one a few months ago. he just lost like $1300 from me. he will relist them and I will not bid. tired of this crap. like I want to sit in front of a computer waiting for a countdown to bidding oblivion.

I'm pretty sure that's what keeps happening to me. It drives me nuts.

That is really annoying. I'm getting so fed up with eBay lately.

there's ways to monitor this sort of thing and they don't do it.
if the same guy bids more than once ... 5 days before the auction ends... and continues that behavior... and his name is the only one that shows up consecutively... like this b******t $95 b******t $45 b******t $35 crap like that... it should be obvious what's goin on.

Meh, you have to know how to play a game before complaining that someone is cheating. Don't bid high because if someone can take advantage of you, they WILL, ESPECIALLY when it involves lots of money. That's the game on ebay, who can screw who for how much and get away with it, now you know what not to do, and knowing is yadda yadda yadda!

I hate that I have to do it, but this is one of the many reasons why I wait till 45 seconds are left in the auction to put my first bid in. Sure I've missed a few auctions because I forgot to bid in time, but I have also won a few items fairly cheaply. In a perfect world though, I'd be able to bid my maximum with days left to go and either get outbid by someone who WANTS to buy the item or win it myself.

i bid with 20 seconds left. and that's the only time I bid.
dude was like a vulture. I understand what some of you are saying but alas... it works both ways... now that dude is out the cash and I can live without the product.

I despise dealing on EBAY if I don't have too. I like to use it as a gauge to see where product is hitting so I can go get it myself.
