People have created accounts and bid on their own stuff to try to raise the price. If caught, they are deleted from the system by E-bay. As many people wait until the last few minutes to make a bid, it is probably the surest way to win something.
When you place a bid, enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item. eBay will bid incrementally on your behalf, based on pre-set bid increments, but ONLY up to your maximum bid.
