Jennifer:  Thanks so much for taking time to help me.  Will follow your 
advice.Loretta:

>A couple of things you should look at when buying.  First, if the bidders
>are private then it's a red flag.  If the feedback is private and below 99%,
>a BIG RED FLAG!  The private part is what you have to watch out for.  Why
>would someone who is selling so many items keep their feedback private?  Why
>is it only around 97%?  Then the last thing you can do is look in advanced
>search for how many things exactly like it the person has sold in the last 2
>weeks plus current.

>You can bookmark this:
>http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/search_seller.html
>That usually is all you need to know to not bid.  But I go 2 steps further.
>First, if I am suspect but it looks real, I email the seller.  If they don't
>respond I go on.  Also, if they don't list shipping or state that only exact
>shipping will be charged, I ask first because I've been burned on getting a
>good deal and then the seller makes their profit back on the item through
>high shipping prices.
>I think the best advice would be to go to Square Trade and file a case
>there.  This will cause her to keep from filing a non bidder alert with
>eBay.  You still have time to do that.  This way it is through eBay as to
>why you aren't paying and hopefully someday eBay will get tired of all the
>Square trade arbitrations that have to be against her and they will kick her
>off eBay!  I think the interesting thing would be to ask to see the bidders
>list.  I would bet that she is shilling these items and that you were in
>fact bidding against her!  If so, it is a VERY serious offense!  To find
>that out though you would have to send a fraud case to eBay with your
>suspicions.  They can look at the bidders and figure that all out.
