Yah....well, now he's winning. Get in there and make another bid.

Make him pay even more, bump up your bid in min + 1 cent increments till you hit his max bid and then let him win.

I've bought a few things on ebay but not a lot. I'm not sure exactly how you would know you are at his max bid. Can you?

Anyways there are more than a few dumbo's on ebay:

Thats pretty funny moose...

Just let him win that auction and pay more and just go bid on a different one.

Could be a 'friend' or an alter ego shilling bids. Snipe one of the other ones.

A shill, certainly. No one is that stupid to jump into bidding against someone when another auction with the same stuff exists.

I think you underestimate the stupidity of the common ebay user.
