Anyhoo. The reason why you find yourself outbid so quickly is that other bidders put in a maximum amount they will pay, rather than just an incremental bid. Say there's an item currently selling for $10 and you're interested. Incremental bids are $1. You've decided you'll pay up to $25 for it. Instead of bidding $11, you can put a bid in for $25. Only $11 will show up, but if somebody else comes and bids $12, you'll immediately outbid that person at $13. If somebody bids $20, you'll outbid them at $21. That will continue until somebody outbids your maximum at $26. The good thing about maximum bids is that if you're the winning bid at $18, you pay $18 for the item, not the $25 max you were willing to pay.
Does that clear things up for you?
