    It said in one of the Q/A's this:

    Q: If I bid and don't pay, what, if anything, will happen?

    Yeah true, but I think the idea behind it is that people will put silly bids in. Not realising that it is an auction for charity, and end up paying for it

    Good idea IMO (If it works).

    Actually, its just a case of overzealous use of keywords in order to be able to advertise on google.
