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: Frank Burns Webb was born on October 2, 1896 at Newton, Manchester, the son of Robert William Webb and Kate Webb (née Duffy). He was commissioned on October 10, 1915 into the Royal Lancashire Regiment, being promoted to Lieutenant on September 7, 1916. 2nd Lieutenant Webb was wounded twice during the First World War. Serving in France and Belgium, he was twice wounded in action in 1916, serving later that year in Egypt, and transferring to the 3rd/8th Gurkha Rifles in August 1917. He was made Acting Captain in 1918, and served in Afghanistan in 1919 and in Iraq in 1920. Webb received the 1914-15 Star in the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal in the rank of 2nd Captain, the India General Service Medal 1908-1935 with Afghanistan N.W.F. 1919 clasp and the General Service Medal 1918-1962 with Iraq clasp in the rank of Captain. He passed the Army Staff College and the Royal Air Force Staff College, and was appointed General Staff Officer (Grade 2) in 1932. He was made a Brevet Major while at Headquarters in India in 1933. He served as Assistant Secretary to the Committee of Imperial Defence in London, brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel in 1936, and was promoted to General Staff Officer (Grade 1) as Senior Secretary in 1938-1939. Captain Webb retired on June 12, 1939, only to return to serve in various high-level military administration roles during the Second World War. In 1949, he was transferred to the Munitions Supply Division, and remained in similar oversight roles until around 1960, when he appears to have retired for a second time.
