In some cases, your auto bid may immediately increase to your maximum amount. This can happen for 3 reasons:
Another bidder has set a max bid just below yours
If someone else’s maximum bid is slightly lower than yours, the system will automatically increase your bid to the next required increment above theirs, which may bring you straight to your maximum.Another bidder has set the same maximum as you
If two bidders set the same auto bid limit, both bids will rise to that maximum. The bidder who placed their auto bid first will remain the highest bidder.Another bidder has set a higher maximum than you
If someone else’s auto bid exceeds yours, the system will automatically increase your bid up to your maximum. However, the other bidder will remain in the lead.
Auto bidding ensures fair and competitive auctions by automatically placing bids on your behalf up to your chosen limit.
