People will get shills to bid up their auctions so that the second place bidder's highest bid will be exposed and then they do the second bid offer thing. As a rule, I don't accept those offers but either wait for it to be relisted or find another of the same auction. Also, use a sniping tool like AuctionStealer.com so your bid is placed via proxy for you just a few seconds prior to the end of the auction. Some people hate sniping but it's the way of eBay and has been for years now. It also helps to avoid shills chipping away to see what your true high offer/bid is.
