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.
