eBay hides the full amount of any bid that is higher than the calculated price, substituting that price ("current bid" while the auction is running, which is simply what the price would be if the auction ends with no further activity) for the actual amount of that bid ("hidden maximum").
You can see the full maximum (i.e. it is no longer "hidden") only if it is less than 1 full bid increment above the highest bid of the second highest bidder. And even then, if there are multiple bids by the leader showing at that same calculated price, only the bottom one (the earliest, lowest one) is at that price (absent extraordinary circumstances where two bids of the same amount by the same bidder were received within a second of so of each other, e.g. a double click or multiple snipe servers), the rest are higher but since they are higher than the calculated price they all show at that same calculated price amount.
