Sounds that way, although there loosing money each time by relisting it so by the time they do sell it they wont have made any profit as they will have to pay there fee's.

Anything I'm interested in goes on my watch list & I wait to make a bid till the last few minutes before it ends. It helps to have a maximum bid in mind before I do anything as well.

So far no-one has conned a higher price out of me & I haven't had to report anyone, I have a feeling I've been lucky so far but that could end any time.

Exactly!! Naive Ebayer... evidently.
She only has 43 feedback, so is relatively new. I hope she does get a warning from Ebay so that she can learn now while she still has a chance. She has 8 items listed, relatively expensive ones, so lets hope they are removed too.... Then she will have wasted alot of money on fee's!

Yes i often do this. But i tend to forget, and miss out completely. so i tend to put in a smaller bid...
for example:
I want an item... starting price 99p.... I bid £5.00 (but have a maximum bid of £10 in mind.... I come back just before the auction end.. then put in my final £10 bid..... But i do usually forget to do this, so thats why i always do a small emergency bid first. Quite often, when I'm lucky, i tend to get the item for the lower price anyways, so it works out okay
