not the way the new bidding works!
It's acctually been around for some time. You enter your maximum bid and ebay will automatically match anyones bid for you upto your maximum.
Some people really don't like it because someone can just put in bid after bit to find out what your maximum is, but that's not the trick in using it. First you wait until the last few minutes of the bidding and then you enter in your maximum bid. This way other bidders don't have enough time to put in a bunch of bids. They either want it more than you and put in a heafty bid (in which case you would lose anyway) or they don't. Gives you more ways to win a bid.
