Why are some people against dumping? How is it unfair competiiton?
If person B sells ham at 10 dollars, and I sell my ham at 5 dollars , make the other guy go broke then sell my ham at 15 dollars I will atract competition. I dont see how the price of my ham will stay at 15 dollars on the long run, am I overlooking something obvious?

In the real world, developing a product costs a lot more than getting a pig and slaughtering it. If it costs millions or even billions of dollars to develop something, and there is a great likelyhood that someone will undercut my prices, why would I enter such a market?

because I can buy the stuff of person B at a very low cost because it will go on auction?

I have no idea what you are talking about here. Why would someone invest millions of dollars into developing a product that a well-established competitor will simply drop the price of their product and prevent me from making any money? What does this have to do with auctions?
