Cheating

Hello,
I notice "strange" things . Is that allowed to lift up a price by making many offers without other participants?
Here is an example:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/Antiker-Schaukelstuhl-Stuhl-Armlehnstuhl-Speichenstuhl-203/193874166113
Why would I lift up a price if I am the only participant at auction?
Thanks.
Lucy

Hello @lyudkolome-0 

it just simple - the highest bidder has placed his bid at February the 12th, the second one has placed his first bid at the 14th and was outbid by the first one.

And as he didn't know, how high the first one bid he slowly raises his bid untill the last one.
