A big thank you to everyone who supported me. Thanks to everyone's generosity I raised £755 for the Veterans Charity.

Tunisia have already sacked their manager after losing to Sweden! Bit harsh.

What Nick is is absolutely right. It's called a second price auction. To put it another way the winning bid is determined as the second highest bid + a smallish set increment determined by EBay.

My strategy is to snipe with a bid that equals the maximum price I'm prepared to pay for an item. If someone has a higher (unknown to me) bid than mine at the end, then good luck to them and bad luck to me.

There are some that treat the Ebay auction like a regular auction and seek to outbid one another in a leapfrog fashion much to the delight of the seller I'm sure.
