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.

Serbia, Kingdom. An Order of the White Eagle, I Class Breast Star, by G.A. Scheid, c.1895

(Орден белог орла). Institution 1882. Civil Division. 1882-1941 Issue. Of high quality manufacture, an exquisitely made four-armed star in silver gilt, arms alternating double diamond beaded rays with fine, smooth rays, obverse centre featuring a finely enameled white heraldic double-headed eagle, adorned by surmounted Serbian crown and enameled blue tassels, reverse with principle pin assembly, marked by G.A.

Footnote: The Order of the White Eagle was introduced by King Milan I on January 23, 1883 (Russian method of dating) to commemorate the restoration of the kingdom of Serbia, proclaimed on February 22, 1882 in Belgrade. The Order was designed by historian Stojan Novakovich, who combined two medieval royal symbols of Serbia: the double-headed white eagle (1309-19) and the red escutcheon with the white cross (1402).
