No what is happening is this lets suppose you place a bid on an item that is currently at $100, you bid $110, not sure how ebay calculates the bid increase, but it will bid for you up to that amount. If you bid $200 and no one else bids on it you will get it for $110 or what ever the increment price is, it does not automatically put the $200.

Hope this helps

It has to do with the your highest possible bid. If the item is at $100 and someone bids a max of $150. The auction will go to $110 and you come along and bid $125 the auction will go to $130-ish. Unless you bid over the other person's $150 it will keep saying you been out bid.
