I think it's simply that there are tons more people shopping e-Bay now compared to a few years back, so in some cases it drives prices up for good stuff. Like the guys already said, if you set your maximum bid price at the most you're willing to pay and someone "snipes" the price in the last minute they have to be willing to pay more than you, right? If they pay more than you set as your max price what's the problem?
