What is a Max Bid?

MaxBid is your secret weapon for winning auctions without having to babysit every second.

How MaxBid Works

  • Enter the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for an item.

  • The system will automatically place bids on your behalf — just enough to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum.

  • If another bidder goes higher than your MaxBid, you’ll stop bidding, and they’ll take the lead.

Why Use MaxBid?

  • Set it and forget it: No need to sit and refresh — MaxBid works in the background.

  • Smart bidding: You only bid the minimum needed to stay ahead, not your full max right away.

  • Stay competitive: If you’re outbid, you’ll know your limit was reached and you can decide if it’s worth going higher.

Quick Example

  • Current price: $5

  • You set a MaxBid of $20.

  • Another customer bids $10.

  • The system automatically raises your bid to $11.

  • You remain the high bidder until someone bids over $20.

Key Notes

  • MaxBid does not guarantee a win — it just guarantees you’ll stay competitive up to your limit.

  • Be sure your MaxBid reflects the true maximum you’re willing to pay.
