Re: [FWDLK] eBay Quasi-Cheaters

The highest bid always take precedence. So, if your max bid is higher then
the last (max) bid, you win.
But also: if your earlier max bid is equal with any later (max) bid, you
win!
The policy on this is listed at eBay as follows:
"Remember that earlier bids of the same amount take precedence"

That's why you often see these strange bids in cents. Never us a nice round
figure for your max bid! If you are willing to pay $50, make your max bid
$51.67 or so. Might just make the difference!

Max bid works just fine. Let a computer do your bidding, no living creature
can do it faster! Just place your bid, settle your max and go to sleep.

I've been tempted to bid on eBay but this thread is
discouraging me.

What happens to those automatic bid increases as the
deadline arrives?  Is it the last automatic increase at the
last moment that wins, even if someone else has put in a
call for a higher bid?
