Warning to buyers: Ebay Automatically Inflates Bids Despite No Other Buyers Bidding (Reserve Prices)

When did Ebay start automatically inflating bids in reserved auctions, despite no other buyers bidding? None of the obvious help pages flag this up, nor does the bidding process itself. I've just seen Ebay automatically inflate a bid by 100s of Pound...
