I've had similar bids on my auctions. Now, I know it's not me nor anyone "helping me out". I've come to the conclusion that these are fraudulent bidders. When such bidders have won in the past I've had a message explaining that they're on missionary work in Nigeria and asking me to post the item to them at their new address. I've also had similar "winners" cancelled by eBay before any message was received. Remember, you (as a seller) can't give a buyer negative feedback any more. I explain on my auctions that bids will not be accepted from buyers with less than +10 feedback. Should someone with a lower feedback rating want to place a bid, they must contact me first or I will cancel their bid.
