I think someone is sniping, b/c I just looked at the bid history list, and it went from $11,025 to $12,005.00. Oh well.

That's not "sniping". Sniping is bidding on an item at the last possible moment in hopes of taking the high bidder, content with their bid, by surprise and ultimately winning the auction.
"Schilling" is having someone known to you "bid-up" the auction in hopes of driving up the price or making others believe there is more interest in the item than there really is.
However, what you're describing in the above-referenced post is called "bidding".
