duplicate bid same buyer

Question

Hello I am relatively new to selling on Ebay and I have an item that is attracting some interest. I have just received a new bid but it is for the same amount by the same buyer who is already winning the bid? Does this just mean that he has amended his bid limit?

thank you in advance

Yes, eBay only displays enough of the current high bidder's bid amount in order to beat the previous high bidder by up to one bid increment. So if a high bidder submits a new bid with a higher maximum bid amount, it appears in the bid history as a bid at the same amount until there are further bids to push the bidding higher.
