Thanks for previous answers they were helpful, however, what I really want to know is if by putting a high starting price does each bidder have to add that amount onto the previous bid?   Thanks.

No, thats not how it works. The item would have to get over £150 for bids to be £5 a time

 

See here for bid increments:

Bidding increases in increments, if you list at £5.00 and 1st bidder bids £5.00 and 2nd bidder bids £10.00 it would only increase to £5.50 etc.

Between £5.01 and £15.00 the bid increments would be 50p.

 

Here's a table with the different increments clearly laid out:
