"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".

Look, I'm tired of your smart-ass remarks on here. You seem to pride yourself by making other people look dumb, and that is not an attractive quality. Do not take me for such a fool. I know what bidding is. I know how bidding works. I've been doing transactions on ebay for several years. You're right, what I had described above is simply bidding. I was only using the example Holt had given, about not entering a round number bid. And I am well aware of what it feels like to get sniped at the last minute of an auction.
So give it a rest, ok? There's no need to correct me on everything I say.
