[QUOTE="stormcab, post: 364744, member: 6519"] Someone told me you can get someone to bid well over so that it reveals the last highest bidder, then yes they retract the bid. Obviously if this happens regularly then I assume eBay will pick up on it, but then what's stopping that seller asking all his friends and family to rotate and take turns so that eBay just sees different buyers each time. I don't know what other little tricks people employ, but to minimize this I always bid with my max last minute. This technique seems to be used by lots of people as I've watched so many items hovering around a couple of hundred for several days, then shoot up to £700-£1000 in the last 60 seconds. [/QUOTE]
