| Information about our automatic bidding system Here you can see how our automatic bidding system works: 1. When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you'd be willing to pay for the object. Your maximum amount is keptconfidential from other bidders. 2. Our automatic bidding system compares your bid to those of the other bidders. 3. The system places bids on your behalf, using only as much of your bid as is necessary to maintain your highest bid position. The system will bid up to your maximum amount. 4. If another bidder has a higher maximum, you'll be outbid. BUT, if no other bidder has a higher maximum, you win the object. And you could pay significantly less than your maximum price!! This means you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed. |
