Can someone help me understand this ebay bidding? I'm so confused!?

I'm pretty much a lost cause on ebay bidding. I mostly get the automatic bids, but I don't understand why when someone makes a bid, a second bid is placed afterwards but it says it was placed days in advance. Are those the automatic bids? And look at this picture of the bidding. Did someone seriously raise the price 5 euros intentionally?!? And why does it say that high bid was placed days ago when I've been checking it daily? http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j51/bananapops/ebay.jpg

1. On an automatic bid a person can give the maximum they will pay. Every time there is a bid they automatically outbid it by the minimum amount until they reach their maximum. Then they are out if outbidded. I guess the date remains the date it was originally set up. ₪ ɦəlʞɹɐq ₪
2. the automatic bids are placed before: if i want an item and the start is $1.00, and i am willing to pay $35.00 for it i will enter my MAX bid of $35.00. say i am first bidder on the item on april 26 at 3:37, then you see the item and only put a max bid of $20, i will out bid you by $0.50 so my bid will be $20.50 and you wont be winning unless you bid $36.00.
