don't know if this the right section for this but mods bear with me

i have noticed overtime i use the outbid feature on eBay and win a bid it automatically charges me the highest amount i put to bid up to and not necessarily the winning bid for instance i just won an item in which i had asked to bid up to a maximum of 215 the last person to bid put in a bid of 198$ but on check out i was still charged the full 215 and not just say 200 or 199? does this happen to anyone else? is it normal?

Check all the bid difference including the auto bid to spot the reason it happened

yeah but that's the issue after the bid of 198 there were no other bids I understand the auto bid bidding in say increments of 2$ or 1$ or even 3$ but to jump from 198 to 215 is a bit much isn't it?
