Sneaky auto-bid increases?

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.......)

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.

maybe you just put the => .   <= in the wrong place

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 frolic.gif<= (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
