It means he has upped his starting bid ie if his starting bid was £1.50 and then he put a second bid in of £3 but your item started at 99p then he would only show a bid of 99p until someone else bid. If they bid say £1.10 he would still be leading with his first bid. If they bid say £1.80 then he would then be shown in the bidding history to have been outbid on his first amount but still leading due to his 2nd.

Hopefully that clears it up for you!! :?

Well you could but at the end of the day if you push his price to the max then that price should be what he was willing to pay for it anyways..

Some people are stupid and stick £10 on £5 figures then get pissed off that they won it for £9 but if you aren't prepared to pay whatever you bid, tough!

I am not suggesting you start pushing up the bids with a fake account but in THEORY you could, and we all know it does happen.
