how do my bid to climb incrementally?
Jul 30, 2012 10:53 AM

When i place a max bid, that is the amount that was immediatly listed as the current bid.  I want it to climb incrementally not just go to the highest amount i am willing to pay.  How do i get the incremental or automatic bid to work for me?

The help content goes in here!

Your bid DOES climb like that.


 


You place a bid of $50.00 on a item with a start bid of $15.00.


 


Your bid shows as $15.00, another buyer places a bid of $18.50, you hold the highest max bid, so your bid is increased to $19.00.


 


Another buyer bids $35.00, you still have the highest bid, so your bid increased to say $36.00.


 


Until a bidder bids over your max bid, you will keep being the highest bidder in slightly higher increments than the other persons bids.

When you place a bid and it jumps immediately to your maximum amount, that means another member has already placed thier maximum amount.
