How this happened (ebay bidding)

Guest

I recently lost a snipe on another item. The ebay bid was at $9.95 2 hours before the close. I had a max bid of $15 on sniper with a 3 second delay. When I came back and looked again (expecting to see that I had won) the auction had closed with the high bidder being $15.52. I checked the bid history and it shows only 2 bids, one for $15.02, and then the winning bid at $15.02. My bid was never even placed, I'm assuming because the higher bids went in before mine. Anyway, I thought on ebay you had to bid in increments and that if someone put in $15 it would still only place the next highest increment. How did it go from $9.95 to an odd numeber like $15.02 and then $15.52? It is item number 1304560403 incase you want to look at it. Thanks for any advice.
