One bid causes the (apparent) amount to rise from $20 to $224...

To me, that's two bids. Bidder B makes his bid, and eBay automagically bids again for bidder A. 
I know it's a point of view thing. You are explaining it where Bidder B is the only one to physically do anything. I see each electronic jump in price as a seperate bid.  |
