Could NOT find out why that is a good ploy in eBay's help on “Proxy Bidding”.

BUT, instead of looking for the ploy there, try here:
http://www.auctionsniper.com/TipsSheet.aspx
DON'T USE ROUND NUMBERS.
By tossing in odd dollars or cents, you can throw off the bid increment and you might win an item you would otherwise have lost. Why is this important to you when you're sniping? Isn't a snipe the last bid? Because there might be another sniper on the item, or you might hit a manual sniper who just gets very lucky on getting his bid in after you. Or you might even exceed another savvy bidder trying this tactic by a few dollars or cents.
