However, if the present high bidder has his/her high bid as $35.00, the thing will take your bid, and out bid you and jump it up to $30.00. Present bid, $25.00 + your bid $25.50 (the One Click Bid) + the next increment of the present high bidder = $30.00 by using the incremental bidding.
I think I have that correct. But I will never use the One Click Bid. I think it is basically useless. More of a come-on by eBay. (Go figure!)
If someone disagrees and has another explanation, I will stand corrected!

I don't doubt your hypothesis at all.
I had bid earlier, watched it go up to 40 something, entered my 51.99 hit "one click bid", got a "you've been outbid" msg, and then I went into freakout mode.
I didn't have time to bid again because I'm one of those 6 seconds to go "sniper" guys.
Guess it might have been karma for all the "kills" I've gotten as an eBay sniper.
