........."Question is, is it normal for the second chance
offerings?"........

This practice is "against" EB policy. Disregard 2nd chances. It is not
uncommon for a seller to jack up the bid by using a second username for
bidding on their own stuff.

Keep declining, 2nd chance offers give you no "consumer protection" if the
item is not as advertised.
My 2 cents
