That sounds like a case of the seller driving up the price of his own product. Why else would someone go through that much trouble to find out what your max bid was and then keep bidding but not go over your max?? Sounds fishy to me!
Look at his bid history. He's bid on a total of 2 items and has retracted his bids twice. I'd report that bidder to ebay.
Yep, I agree. Congrats on the win, especially if you are happy and willing to pay the price that you won for. Unfortuneately, I think the seller played the bump game to make you pay more, from the sounds of it:facepalm
