Autobid annoyance
Maybe I'm missing something, but I find the Autobid annoying in that I can't place the bid I want if I'm "out of sequence" with the current bid. For instance, let's say the current bid is $2500. If I want to bid $3000 for a lot, I will hit "bid now" which allows me to bid $2750. If I want to use autobid, my next choice is $3250, which doesn't allow me to place a $3000 bid. It assumes somebody else will bid $3000 and leaves me no way to place that bid. Am I missing something, or has anybody else seen that as well?

You can only leave ceiling bids in alternate increments. This is a question I used to be asked time and again in my auctions. If you place the $2750 with a ceiling of $3250, your high bid will kick in only if somebody bids $3000. But if you bid $2750 with a ceiling of $3000, you've just taken two consecutive increments. At what level will somebody else be able to bid? He can't top your $2750 bid because you would be holding the next bid too. He would have to go straight to $3250. So you might as well have just bid the $3000. That may or be not be clear.

That's the problem
Barry --
That's the problem - I can't bid $3000 unless I wait until somebody bids $2750. Maybe I can and I haven't figured out how. But in any case, what difference would it make if I took up two increments? To the seller and auctioneer, it's the same cash. To the bidders, it's first guy at that level wins. I think the alternate increment rule hurts only the bidder looking to spend a given amount (like the amount my wife allowed me)... Cheers, Geno

Can't you just go straight to $3000? Are you saying the software doesn't allow it? I see you are saying that. Maybe you could call them and ask them to manually place it for you.
