Feature

Once bidding has begun on Auction Items, registered users may enter a maximum bid for that item. Each time the bidder gets outbid, the site will place a new bid equal to the raise amount until such time that the next raise would exceed their stated maximum bid. At that time, the bidder will be notified that they have been outbid. If there is sufficient time left in the auction, they can either place a new bid or raise their maximum bid amount.

If a bidder is using Auto Bidding and is bidding against a "Manual" bidder, the bidder using Auto Bidding will always be the high bidder if the max bid for the bidder using Auto Bidding has been reached. For example, the bidder using Auto Bidding has a Max Bid in place of $100. The current bid is $70 with $5 increments. If a manual bidder enters a bid of $100, the bidder using Auto Bid will have their previously set max bid entered at $100, which will require the manual bidder to increase their bid by the minimum bid required to keep bidding on an item. In this case, the next bid would be $105.
