Hi. i recently open ebay store to sell various products. just want to get some information that when ever i try to put smething for auction it only gave me the chance to bid for ony 0.05AU$. means i put something for start of bid at 0.50AU$ and want my next bid to increase by 0.50AU$ but the window for next bid is asking to place 0.55AU$ ... increasing my bid for only 0.05$ instead of 0.50$ .. i saw alot of other auctions in which if one bid is at 1$ then next bid they ask for 2 dollar. but my auction is only increasing by 0.05$ evry time i put something for auction. how can i adjust my next bid price limit. thanks.

Different price ranges mean the bidding increments are different.
For items where the current price is 1c - 99c, the bidding increment is only 5c.
for $1-$4.99, the bid increment is 25c
for $5 to (I think) 19.99 the bid increment is 50c
It increases as the price increases, so to ensure that the bidding is +50c or more each time, you need to have the items start at $5 or more.

Just had a look at your listings OP, have you really had that new dress long enough for it to be described as vintage?
People get very annoyed when the search for vintage items because they want something thirty years or more old and find new items that were manufactured in the last couple of years.
