Actually, that's just the nature of the system Ebay uses. Bidder 5***0 is the high bidder, but he has not yet bid up to the reserve price. He's continued to bid, presumably to discover what the reserve price is, but since no one else is bidding against him, his $380 is still considered high even though he's made larger bids. As others increase their bids, he'll still be listed as the high bidder until someone surpasses whatever his top bid is, but even then the reserve might still not be met.
