People lose on Ebay for two reasons only:
1 Somebody else thinks the item was worth more than they did. That's fair enough.
2 They didn't bid as much as they were actually prepared to pay. This is stupid.
To avoid nitwits who get carried away and bid more than THEY think the item is worth, you should bid in the last ten seconds, and bid the absolte maximum you are prepared to pay. Then nobody has time to bid more when they see your bid is slightly higher than theirs.
I usually win when I bid, but if I don't I know that the item went for more than it was (in my opinion) worth.

That way, they don't have chance to think " just another pound" etc.
The prices I've seen things go for when two bidders get into a battle for an item

That is why you need to choose a subject such as "Telephone Boxes on the Scilly Islands"

I've already got my winner picked, I wonder if the judge will agree with me?

a) why does this happen?
b) how do I avoid or minimise it, without paying out huge lumps of money for fancy lenses? Is it up to my skill ( yeah right! ) to frame the shot to minimise this effect, or does it need backroom processing to get rid of?
Or maybe I just need to learn to like it.
