Can someone please help me with questions regarding my bid history

[Daphne]

I have this item listed with ebay. Since I'm new at this I'm not sure about what is going on with the bid history. I'm only going on a few hours of sleep but it looks to me like lower bids were placed a day later. I had a $3.00 bid then it went to $2 something on a different date. And $3 has been bid twice??? What is going on with this and should I contact ebay?
Thank you for any help!!!!

Ebay lists all the bids for you.. The buyer doesn't see the bids (until the end) so we don't know what has been offered.. We only put a bid for what we want to pay. so , say I'm angie and I want to bid $2.50 on the 17th- I'm going to let Ebay finish my bidding for me. My max bid I want is $3.50. Don't go any higher. but someone else's highest bid was $3 on the 16th- that person didn't win over me- I almost won it until someone bid $5.79. So only go by the amount of the bid.. not when it was placed.
The buyer can't see the bid amount- only the starting bid.
