The trick here is to place a bid, then the start price is fixed.

Exactly. I've never understood why more buyers don't do this.

But twice recently, after doing this to secure the low start, and then seeing no other bid activity, the seller ended the auction as 'error in listing' and within a few days, item was relisted at much higher starting price. eBay 'looked into it' but nothing changed. All smart buyers can do is avoid sellers like this, but there are so many buyers out there, some idiot will eventually the stupid high prices... sigh,,,
