ebay multiple item bids

Title says it all really, how do bids work on multiple item auctions?
for example, two items available, £5 starting price
I bid £20 and quantity 1
someone else bids £10 and quantity 1
No other bidders, what's the end result?

As there is no proxy on dutch auctions I assume you will win one at £20 and the second bidder will win one at £10, but I think it might be more complicated than that.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Or maybe not as it says this in their help system:
Multiple Item ('Dutch auction') listings are no longer offered on eBay. We're always looking for ways to simplify the selling and shopping experience on eBay, so based on the low adoption by sellers, we decided to phase it out.
Sellers can still sell multiples of an item through Fixed Price listings, or if they'd rather stick with auction-style format, they can offer single lots with multiple items.

The bidding page says……- There can be numerous winners, because there are several items available.
- Items are sold at lowest winning bid to all winning bidders.
- No proxy or automatic bidding. The bid you submit is your bid amount.
