My question still has not seemed to be answered. My concern is about

Greg, can you supply an ebay listing number where this has occurred? It
would help clarify your question.
Ebay introduced a new policy several months ago that does have a very

Don't be so silly, the person is raising their bid so that if you bid, you
won't out bid them. If you want to win the auction, you have to bid higher

Dear Greg and others,
Your suspect bidder may have a different bidding
strategy than you. Not everyone can be available to

over again *never wins the item*. They always drop out.
