Why Does My Item Have Multiple Bids and No Price Increase

You might have noticed in the past that one of your eBay listings has multiple bids, but the starting price has not increased.

Ever wonder why this happens. There are a couple of reasons.

1. The bidder might have realized that they want to increase their first bid or more likely
   
   
2. The bidder has placed multiple bids to try and discourage other bidders from placing a bid.

As shown below the same user id has placed 4 bids on my item.

The auction ends tonight, so we'll see if his strategy pays off on this item.
