Guys, you can't bid against yourself. What likely happened with reuben is that he initially placed a max bid that outbid the previous winning bidder by a small margin less then the minimum bid increment. If you bid again with a higher value, ebay will bump your bid up to the minimum bid increment.For example, proxy bids between $500-999 are placed at $10 increments. If the current winning bid is $605.00 and you enter a max bid of $606.00, you will become the winning bidder. However, you did not meet the minimum bid increment. If you bid again with a max bid of $650.00, ebay will bump your bid up to $615 ($605 + $10 minimum bid increment). You aren't bidding against yourself, per se. You're simply meeting ebay's defined proxy bid increments.
There isn't as much foul play with ebay as people think there is. A lot of it is simply not understanding how some of the details work and presuming the worst.
