well if you put a bid in of £50 it will be the lowest bid you can get to win the auction and wont show to anyone else you max bid
so if someone has done that before you as you keep biddin £2-3-4-8-20 etc if they have got a bid of 20 you wont win until you surpass their 20 but then you dont know what their max amount is
in the same sense if you put 5 but no one ever bids on it you may well get it for a pound
hope i got your question right
as for the auctions, usually ones that start low generate more interest but like anything it is supply and demand, take the wii, they went for £400 + because there were limited ones etc
if i not asked your question let me know
also asking for your mate to bid is fine, but as you dont know the other peoples top bids your mate my end up winning and so your mate wins and you los eyour selling fees
Thanks for that!
The point I was making about someone else bidding is that I was wondering
if there are many scammers on who try to take advantage by having
someone continuously top up others bids.
Okay so say I see an item on ebay tonight for say £10 and I make a bid of
£11. Are you saying I can set my maximum bid at £20 right then
and unless no one bids any higher I will win?
So in turn does this mean ebay will only take whatever is required from my maximum to win
the auction say if the current bid is £13 then they will top up my bid
just enough to keep me in front up to £20?
Sorry for the extra questions, I'm just wary of it I guess.
