I have had 2 bids on an item. The 2nd bid was placed 2 days after the 1st at a lesser amount. How does this happen please?

I am a first time seller. On 23 Jul a bid was placed then on 25 July a lesser bid was placed. Does anyone know how this can occur? cheers

The bid from the 2nd bidder is a lesser amount than the 1st bidders maximum amount.

If the 1st bidder has put for example $10 as a max bid they will auto out bid others until another place a bid higher than their amount then the new bidder will be the highest till they get out bid.
