This isn't fair to have these private listers bidding on auctions. I think they own stores and then offer to sell it back tomus at a higher price.

Could you please offer one specific example (listing number).
It appears you do not understand how bidding works on eBay. Buyers ID are always hidden from other members. Only the bidder and seller can see who is bidding. It has nothing to do with private bidders.

Take a look at the bidding history on the one listing where you were the highest bidder:
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=291053329071
While you cannot see the name of other bidders (only the seller can), looking at the dates and times the bids were placed and their amounts will give you a quick understanding how bidding works on eBay.

So you think that a retailer is bidding against his potential customers, paying more for the item that those potential customers are willing to pay, then offering the item to them at a higher price plus some amount for profit.
Please review this and explain to me why this would be a good business plan.
