Shouldn't be hard to fight it once you recognize it. Their are multiple ways to combat it; low-wall at your threshold or if the user posts multiple items per cycle, undercut with just one and let them eat deposit cost / mailbox time.

Also I'd like to stress it doesn't always have to be my "Quick Auctions Poster"-plugin, a clever coder might have written his own private auction house mod, it may actually be done through an illegal application or perhaps it's a "Chinese camper" without similar automation but getting paid to earn gold thus posting every few minutes. I wrote this plugin AFTER I had already noticed very similar behavior from certain competitors, so there are alternative ways which might not have been made public yet.

Personally in my case to make a point I ran them down below vendor+listing price (assuming they'd know to cap it at vendro price at least) so with each re-listing made they were loosing money (albiet small amounts) :)
