  - there is also one click bidding which in the last few minutes of the auction opens a java script window and lets you click and increase bid instantly - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:24
i haven't done it in a while but my recollection is i can always set my bid to go higher than the last highest bid (up to my own maximum) -- nm - charlie Apr 12, 19:02 7
- I'll have to figure out how to do that I guess. - Stephen Apr 12, 19:04 5
  - Did you get a message saying you were the high bidder, and then got outbid, or did it just say you had been outbid when you submit yours? - Ender Apr 12, 19:10 3
    - "Your ebay bid is confirmed." and then just below that in the e-mail "You're currently the high bidder" - Stephen Apr 12, 19:33
    - here's a tactic I've heard works in many situations where the bid hasn't gone over your intended max but still below item value...... - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:32
    - This is what I was trying to say. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 19:11
  - Enter what you are willing to pay. The system will handle it. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 19:05
- Let's say you bid $20, but the highest bid at the moment is $7...you'll be winning for $7.00 - Will Hunting Apr 12, 19:03
