Welcome to the sleazy world of shill bidders. I used to spend a lot of time on eBay and (unfortunately) spent a lot of money there. Then management at eBay, mostly under the leadership of Meg Whitman, started making lots of changes that benefited the seller and screwed the bidders. Sure, they'll tell you shills are illegal but they don't stop them. And you noticed the seller offered you the item(s) at your high bid, not the price you would have paid had the shill not shown up. Hate to say it but eBay sucks.
