Using maximum bidding, also known as proxy bidding, is especially helpful if you are bidding on multiple items right up to the auction closing time. With maximum bidding, the auction site places bids on your behalf at the lowest possible increments up to a maximum amount you set. Simply enter the highest amount you are willing to pay and the system will bid for you as prompted by other bids. You will be notified by email if your maximum bid is outbid.
You can always increase your Maximum Bid until the item's Online Close, even when you are the leading bidder.
