Why do people do this?(eBay question)+hot girls

Nice Pics.

When you bid on ebay, you enter a "maximum bid" amount. Only the minimum amount needed to gain the lead in the bid is posted as your bid, however.

If anyone comes along and enters a maximum bid higher than your current, posted bid amount, but less than your maximum bid amount, your new current posted bid is raised to again be the least amount needed to keep yoou in the lead. This can happen several times before someone finally outbids you with a higher maximum.

I hope that made sense.

Okay, thanks. I knew about the auto bid thing they have, I didn't realize that's what this was.
