How can I automatically increase my bid? What is Proxy Bidding?
You enter maximum bid amount (highest bid willing to pay) into the bid box on the auction page. Auction system will record your "maximum bid" amount and place a bid at the current 'LOWEST' minimum bid. If another bidder enter higher than your 'LOWEST' minimum bid, the system will automatically place another bid for you. On behalf of you the proxy bidding system will continue to make smallest bids necessary to maintain you as the winning bidder until you are the winner of the auction, or until another bidder bids higher than your maximum allowable proxy bid amount. Proxy bids are 100 % private and are never displayed to other bidders or auctioneer.
