Sneaky auto-bid increases?

padi*0409 — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 04:29:02 GMT

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that over the last few days or so, auto-bids appear to be in increments of $1.00 rather than the 50cents they used to be? Perhaps I missed an eBay announcement somewhere..................

This is on low cost items (around $20.00 or so)

Another money grab by eBay perhaps??????? (great for sellers, not so good for buyers.......)

Must be just you as mine are still 50c but when they reach $30 then it's $1

Not a bidder - I prefer the BIN - but most certainly wouldn't surpirse me padi - maybe eBays way of levelling the disaster of late, and the buyer is the target this time ???

Thanks zelly, the $30.00 seems to be the transition point as you said.

Doubt it, my dots are a lustrous gold colour anyway......................

But, I do seem to remember that the transition point used to be more than $30.00.

I always had to bid in $1 increments once the bid reached $25 or more. o_O

That's the problem then Padi!

You're using the wrong coloured => . <=

Did you know, that whenever you talk about your golden dot that it makes me think of that Willy Wonker Song and I imagine you frolicing <= (That's you frolicing) and singing "I've got a golden dot. I've got a golden dot! doo bee do do be doo doo or however the s9ong goes
