Why bid against yourself??

[LauraA]

What is with these people who bid against themselves? I don't mean a one-time, frantic, heat of the moment, beat someone to the button, last minute bid; I mean people who bid up the price against themselves early on in the bidding. I don't want to offend anyone here, but I keep seeing one person in particular--"Melissa"--regularly bids up the price early on, inflating the price on many things much more than necessary. And more than once I've seen the items resurface in a later auction, so I don't think she buys all she bids on (which is a LOT). It's so frustrating to those of us who'd really like to bid seriously.

That's the million dollar question that no one has been able to answer. It's an enduring mystery.

I've been finding even if I win for a good price that's not been raised high like u describe..but I can't afford the shipping charges per item ! It's just Freaking crazy!

Yeah, they want you to enroll in auto payment with your credit card but I will never ever eva do that. Not my thing and I don’t auto-pay my own utilities!
