Bid increments

I am helping a new eBayer with an auction bid. Can anyone point me to the Help page that shows the bid increment amounts?

Thanks, that is a Buying Guide that someone has written in 2007. There doesn't seem to be anything in the Help pages.

Ever since eBay in their wisdom (????) removed the A-Z help guide it's been near impossible to get information to help other members.

Nice one eBay..................not.

The incremental amounts are still the same - and that's what you asked for.

And.........like Padi said.......it's too hard to find anything these days.

This is the original link but is now a new page - http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/buy/bid-increments.html

That's all eBay has put up by the looks of it.

It'd be easy enough to find out by searching a few auctions within specific price ranges and just see what the next bid has to be.

When you're viewing an auction, it tells you what the next increment is, anyway.

Dunno what's so hard.

I would hope the OP has sorted it after two and a half YEARS.

Besides, the last post before you bumped this dead thread clearly laid out the increments applying at the time.
