MINIMUM BID INCREMENTS: 'Minimum Bid Increments' are the minimum amount of money that anyone can increase the current winning bid. These amounts change by the dollar amount bid. Please see the Bid Increments schedule within each auction. BIDS: The auction will use a maximum bidding system. This makes bidding more convenient and less time consuming. Your account will bid for you using the 'minimum bid increment' until it reaches your maximum bid. You don't have to bid again every time someone outbids you until the current winning bid is above your 'Max Bid'. For example: You place a bid on an auction item which has a current high bid of $10 by entering the maximum amount you're willing to pay for the item (New Max Bid = $20). Your account will place a bid of $12 on your behalf ($10 current winning bid + $2 minimum bid increment). Then, someone else bids $14. Your account will automatically bid $16 on your behalf. Your account will continue to bid for you (using the minimum bid increments) until you reach your 'New Max Bid = $20'. When the current winning bid is more than your 'Max Bid', your account will not bid again for you (i.e. If someone else bids $22). You can change your New Max Bid until the auction closes. The seller and other bidders cannot see your New Max Bid. (NOTE, the minimum bid increments on this property will be $1000)
