One big advantage that ebay has over many auction houses for buyers is the ability to snipe. That said, at least 90% of the time, I set a max ahead of time of what I am willing to pay for something and stick to it. The other 10% of the time would be for insanely rare items that I might go a bit higher if pushed. While some items do go for unusually high sums, many I think are quite reasonable- as noted by others on the boards as well. To each his own.
