I've recently noticed something that everyone here probably knows why
it happens...

One sees an item say having 3 or 4 bids up to say 25.00. I then bid
27, but as soon as I confirm, a notice shows I've been outbid.
What gives?
Does the seller have a built-in bid system the automatically ups the
price to a certain level?

Yes the current high bidder has a proxy bid which is higher than your bids.

Yes, in order to bid towards VICTORY as the TV ad says....you must
boldly bid up.....

Where no man has gone before- Hide quoted text -

Higher....higher.....bid higher
