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: The Torpedoboot Jaguar was put into service with the Reichsmarine on June 1st, 1929. She saw limited service and was refitted several times until August 1938. At the start of the war, she belonged to the 6th T-Flotilla, primarily laying mines in the North Sea until December 1939, when she was retrofitted once again. She was used from April 1940 onward to lay mines in the North Sea, hunt allied U-boats along the coast, and to escort friendly destroyers until early 1944. In response to the allied landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944, Jaguar was moved to destroy allied supply ships, thereby sinking the Norwegian destroyer Svenner. Having sustained some damage from the confrontation, Jaguar was moved to the Le Havre harbour for repairs, where she was bombed by Avro Lancasters on June 14, 1944. She sank at 6:00am the same day.
