Is there any 3rd Party websites that could help me get a local USA address for the transit and then Import the Item back to India ?

After registering to shopandship they give you their US, UK and China warehouse and office addresses where you need to forward the purchased or won items. You'll also be alloted a unique customer code which you need to mention on the address, so the parcel forwarded to their address will be sent to you in INDIA. You will understand automatically how it works once you go through their website.

Basically you can say they all are shipping forwarders

No business.
i would be doing this for personal use only.
 
You want to know how to bid or how to get it to India ?
If it is the latter, answers are above this post.
If former then understand that most bidding happens in last 1 minute of the auction so you may or may not win the auction everytime.
I have used a website called auctionsniper.com which gives 3 free snipes and have used it to win bids twice. You can purchase additional snipes here.
Your snipe is not consumed unless you win an auction so say you used auction sniper to bid on an item and you did not win, you have NOT lost the snipe, it is still intact.
You login to auction sniper using your ebay credentials and just tell the item number and the maximum bid you are willing to put and it will do the bidding for you in the last minute of the auction.

Thanks for the auctionsniper link raksrules,

Let's say i am interested in buying a phone whose current bid is 70$ and i am not interested in buying it for any more than 100$
so, when the time comes, would the auctionsniper make the bid according to the then current bid or would it put down 100$ in an automated manner?

So to sum it up, I need to use AuctionSniper to place my bid at the last second , ppobox/iccworld address to ship it to.

How is Hopshopgo? it offers a similar service, yes?

among the four,
Shopnship, ICCworld, PPObox, Hopshopgo which of them is more reliable than the others and offer a more competitive price?
 
@Mechanic

You mention in auction sniper that max you want to bid is 100$ and also mention the increments of bids like 5$ increments so say in last minute someone will bid 75$ then auction sniper automatically bids 80$ and will continue to do so until either the auction ends (before your price is met) or your price is crossed.
So if someone bids 105$ and you mentioned max 100$ then auction sniper will stop bidding at 100$.

It Is all automatic and no manual intervention needed. You can also change the max bid if you feel you are ok paying more.
