What am I missing?<br /><br />ebay motors item, starting bid, $.99<br />Buy it now $55.00<br />Item has one bid, so the current bid shows $.99.<br /><br />I bid $20.<br /><br />Auction ends and I won, bid amount is $20.<br />I go check the "bids" history.<br />It shows only 2 bids, the first bidder who bid $15.00, and my bid of $20.<br /><br />Here is my question. If the first bidder only bid $15, shouldn't my bid have only jumped to $15.50?<br />Why did it jump to $20?<br /><br />Is this a case of "my bid was sufficient to hit the reserve price", so it jumped past the reserve?<br /><br />I don't get it. Never seen it happen this way before.
