How The Bidding Works

Bidder “A” can enter a Maximum Bid that they are willing to bid up to and be protected in the auction till their Maximum Bid is beaten.

Example

- “Laptop with wheels” has a starting bid of $10.

- John places a maximum bid of $25. His current bid starts at $10.

- Mary places a bid of $20, but is told that her bid is lower than John’s bid.

- The current bid of John is now raised to $20.50 to defeat Mary’s bid of $20.

- Mary can choose to place a new bid which is more than $20.50, to outbid John.

- Bid increments are automatically calculated by a bidding algorithm. The higher the bidding goes the higher the calculated bid increments get.
