What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Footnote: Corporal Chapotera, 1st Battalion, 2nd King's African Rifles, was approved for the DCM on September 21, 1918: "For the display of gallantry and devotion to duty in the field, particularly on 10/5/18 (May 10, 1918) when the Company was opposed by a large force of the enemy. Although the only European in the section of the line had been wounded, he showed great courage and determination in the handling of his Lewis gun displaying undaunted courage throughout the engagement."
