I cannot believe the confusion. This stuff is child's play compared to what we typically discuss on here. Think about it, and re-read some of the earlier posts, including mine. I have been on ebay for 10 years and I know exactly how it works. There is nothing wrong or misleading about the amounts or the sequence of bids as shown on the questioned item. - Mike

This meaning a new bid submmitted would create new/ additional line, similar to the series of bids on April 23. Is not clear why this bidder put in so many bids within two minutes, since no other bidder's 'proxy' bid shows as exceeding any of his bids. Also does not explain following: Bidder six placed bid on April 22, but his bid does not show until after many other bids are placed on 23, 24, and 25 April. It is expected he would show as a bidder if his bid was 4,000. If his bid was less, then he would have needed to bid again; which eBay says would result in the new bid submission being displayed.
