Cobby33I sell a lot of items on eBay. According to eBay, I am not allowed to bid on my own items, even if I intend to pay myself after winning it. My wife, who also has an eBay account, is not allowed to bid on my items, even if she intends to pay me for them. The same applies to online auctions.
If someone wants to set a high reserve and the auction house allows this, great. If not, you take your chances and if you get low-balled, that's one of the perils of listing a card in an auction. I've dealt with it, as I'm sure many others have.
