Almost definitely a coincidence. Two additional thoughts:1. If a seller had an inside contact at eBay, it's POSSIBLE that it's not a coincidence.
2. Lets say #1 above is true, would they take the risk of being caught, to make a couple of extra dollars? I doubt it. A multi-thousand dollar auction could be a different story.
BTW, Len provided an excellent example of how one can raise their own bid price by placing an additional bid when they are already the high bidder (I have seen it happen).
