The $1 outbid is exactly how the system is supposed to work, a higher bid will only increment up $1 until a still higher bid is received.
The running up to the limit is suspicious but when you use very round numbers like $50 and $100 that probably more likely. I like to use rather strange bids like $102.57 just so I don't get overbid by a $101 bid.
Over all though, eBay has become a bit of a joke, there are very few "garage sale" type sellers anymore, and many of the other "store" sellers are selling thing at higher prices than you could get them in a store (e.g. selling Harbor Freight items at a 20% markup). Still some good stuff out there, but certainly not what it used to be or what it was likely "intended" to be.
