If it is indicated in the item description that automatic bidding is allowed, you can assign the system to act as your proxy and to bid on your behalf. Every bid placed by you will be considered by the system as the maximum amount you have agreed to offer. Such maximum amount will be kept confidential from other bidders, and will be shown only to you. The system will automatically bid on your behalf with such minimum bids (up to the said maximum amount) that would allow you to remain the highest bidder. Any bidder placing a bid, which is lower than or equal to your bid, will be automatically outbid by you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike in many other auction web-sites, by choosing to "buy now" on this web-site you will not automatically become the winner of the auction. If you choose to "buy now", you will be deemed to have placed a bid in the amount which is equal to the "buy now" price. The auction will not automatically end, but the auction end time will be set to 10 minutes. You will become the winner of the auction at the "buy now" price if you are not outbid by the end of the auction.
