Maybe, maybe not.

Typically, when you submit a bid on ebay it enters the lowest amount first, and then bids up from there if others bid. For example. If I see a lure with no bids yet (or low bids) and I bid $25.00. My fist bid will show something like only .50 or 1.00 over the lowest bid. (let's say your bid is $10.00), mine will show as $11.00 and every time a bid is made between (0ver $11.00 and less than $25.00), my bid will OUTBID it by $1.00 up until my cieling of $25.00. (rather than jump from $11.00 to $25.00 immediately)

It's possible you just saw this type of bidding on Ebay.

What I am saying is if the party bid and his bid was not high enough to top the party with the high bid....he placed a consequent bid. I have been on Ebay awhile.....I understand how it works.

If the party bid and his low bid was not high enough to overtake the existing parties bid limit....they more than likely placed another bid to get them over the top.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
