Am I alone thinking that this is annoying?

Jim,

I can relate to what you are saying. I believe people can look at this in a few different ways. Of course we want people to bid on our items, but when someone makes several bids in a row, it looks like shilling and could easily decrease the number of people bidding on your auction...meaning a lower selling price

However, if someone feels the need to be the top bidder everyday, I don't have an issue with that at all...this may be frustating if you are continually getting outbid, but this is completely fair and it's just the way some people like to do it.

Also, if I'm going to bid on an item I will bid my highest amount or place a snipe bid for that amount...so either way I'm not going to go higher than I originally wanted to on an item.

Why are bothering with eBay at all. Just buy & consign from auction houses.

I think bidders should only be able to bid whatever the VCP is for the card, not a dollar more or less....and only be able to bid once in any given auction.
It would just be so much less frustrating. I also agree that anyone under 5 feedback should never be allowed to bid in any auction.

This way we will keep new punks from getting into this game and sellers would never be able to make a profit.

Looks like someone is trying to challenge Jeff for the sarcasm of the year award.

Whilst the pissants continue to argue about bidding tactics, we have quietly placed high bids on 32 new ultra high grade rare type cards for America's Toughest Wantlist.
