Well, when someone outbids your bid, it will say that. Like if they really want it, they might bid high, like 1000 just to stay the highest bidder. So anyone bidding below that will be outbid UNTIL THEY BID HIGH ENOUGH! sounds like you just haven't bid enough yet. It explains all that in the HELP part. I know, it was so confusing to me too! Trust me, it gets really easy. :)
