Is it because the mystery bidder is actually the seller, trying to boost the price?

It just means a users identity is protected once bids are over £100. Only the seller knows the identities of the bidders.

Just before Christmas, eBay introduced a major change to auction-style listings that offers more privacy for their members by changing how bidder information is displayed. eBay did this because in the past potential fraudsters had used bidder information to try to defraud buyers. To prevent this, on listings where the high bid, Buy It Now or starting price is £100 or higher, bidder IDs are now anonymous to everyone except the seller. Community members know this has been a big change, and it is already paying off as members are seeing lower numbers of targeted fake Second Chance Offers.
