e-bay Bid several times at different times on different products and always my bid is beat out by 2 or 3 dollars so I think that is site or seller increasing bid, Internet
I have been a customer/account with ebay once in the past and just very recently.
Both of the times in the past and this time my bids have been hedged out by just a couple of dollars. That is not how people bid. I think the site, the seller, people working for the seller, or a combination of all three are bidding against your bid just enought to be higher than your bid.
I think ebay is really a conglomerate of surplus sellers using dastardly schemes to sell their overstocks.

I understand your issue. I have been there and even up to the the last 6 - 10 seconds, when I increase my bid to some rediculose amount; I am sometimes outbidded by just a few dollars. I bidded on an item once that had a high bid of $45.00 and I increased my bid to $100.00 within the last 10 seconds and was still outbidded by .50 cents. It's fishy but I don't think there are a conglomeration of surplus sellers. I have bought/sold on e-bay over the past 4 years with much success and I don't have any "surplus" items. Just good stuff I no longer have a need for. I do think that it is possible that the seller is monitoring it and is bidding under another user name or having some friend bid on it just to increase the bid amount.
