Correct. If the current bid on an item is $5, and you put in a bid of $10,000 - your bid will fist show up as $5.50, and then automatically escalate as others push it higher. Bids less than $10k by others will not show up, the high bidders bid history will just continue to go up.

Only the high bid is shown so if someone bids over the current bid and the max for the first bidder is higher it will then be the next bid shown even though it's still the first bidder. It makes it appear the bidder over bid himself but that isn't the case.
