Does it have to be similar to EBay? Charities often have silent 
auctions, where you add your name and bid to a public list. No automated 
bidding. If the "add only" feature has been implemented, that would 
prevent people from changing others' bids.

Maybe the forums feature? Each item would be a thread and each bid a post.
