Max Bid Amount Feature

This new feature was added to make bidding more convenient and less time consuming for our users. Now, whenever you place a bid on an item, you can enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for it - and forget about it until the auction ends ... well almost.

Once you click the Confirm Bid button, our system will compare your bid with other bids for the same item, then the system places a bid for you using only as much of your “Max Bid Amount” necessary to make your bid the highest bid. Of course, if someone else has already bid a higher amount, you will not be the highest bidder.

We will notify you of this via email, and if you decide that you might be willing to spend a bit more, you can increase your “Max Bid Amount” simply by bidding again.

Once you are the highest bidder, our system will keep bidding for you (in increments of 25 cents) up to your “Max Bid Amount”, every time someone else bids on that item. This means you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed.
