I've bid more than once when I'm not real knowlegeable about an item and I've bid early just to kind of bookmark it and then later decide I'd pay more than I thought after researching it.
I think it's also human nature to get competitive and want to win. Also sometimes as the auction nears close, I've fantasized so much about owning the item I bid higher than I should to make sure I get it.
I know I should decide on a max and then bid exactly that in the last seconds and not look back, but I'm not always so disciplined.
But more than 2-3 bids sounds like someone not clear on how how the auctions work.
