So basically, the seller wasn't going to make what they wanted, so outbid with ungodly amount in order to keep from selling it to someone at a lower price than what the seller wanted. Am I understanding that correctly?
This is unfortunately a common practice on eBay. From unsavory sellers, and also unsavory buyers who were outbid on something they wanted for less. Sometimes it isn't always the sellers fault. But there are easier features that seller should be using to prevent this practice which have been freely available to all sellers for years. Turn off the ability for buyers with less than 10 transaction ratings from being able to place a bid on your stuff. Don't quote me on 10 ratings exactly, I haven't sold anything on eBay in a while, but it is something pretty low which ensures you aren't using a burner account that you never complete purchases with to throw these stupid bids out there. So some fault still remains with this shop for not utilizing available features to prevent this.
Or.....
Yeah buddy, they suck. Fire them and go somewhere else.
