I don't understand how eBay bidding works
I bid on a pair of boots off of Ebay and the starting price was about $2. A few people bid before me though. But when I started bidding, literally the second a clicked "Cinfirm bid" I was outbidded. I bid five times and it happened every single time. What is this? When I clicked the link to see the list of bidders, they were all different ones. I know you can't see their full username and it shows up like this "U*******e", but you could still tell they were all different. It's almost like it was an automatic bid with the way it happened literally a half of a second after I placed my bid. And this was in a span of about 3 days.
Any ideas?

Well you're supposed to put your maximum bid you see. So just say the current bid is $2, and you put a maximum of $10, it will change the current bid to $3. Then if someone bids $4, they will be outbid by $5 (your bid). So it puts in your maximum bid in little bits, not all at once. Therefore, if someone has put a maximum bid that is higher than your current bid, you will be out bid.
Hope that was clear.
