sorry a bit blur after so much read, ask for example 1 of the bid currently is 1m bidprice,    i put in 10m  ,  in all the middle process  it still show 1m as the bid right?  and ppl try to bid with 2m 3m and 5m. at the end what i get is refund 9m or 5m????

Good Monk, come lets share it..

this proxy bidding for both with/without buyout?

Bot bidding...

your MAX bid(10m) - last highest bid(5m) = REFUND

Wow so dangerous if 1 item current big 500k , i bid 10m,  then until time end 1 ppl put 9m, then i need use 9m price to buy it.    Quite dangerous to put high price, scare scare

not dangerous at all.
erm no it is working as intended.
it boils down to how much u r feeling to fork out for that item.

Ya, it also a nice thing that ppl wont use over gold to buy.  previously i think if i rich enough i c 1 item can put super high gold so all ppl bid also lose and buy with cheap previous bid price. now understand it is still increasing while u win and ppl continue bid price below u

errr i dunno wut u r trying to say there.

anyway, if we cannot win that bid, the least we can do is to make those ppl pay more for that item lulz.

haha u guys never bid on ebay before

That is also one of the reason.

*evil *

wow, i was bidding a bow, current bid at 1.35mill, so i bid 1.5mill, after i keep refresh refresh for double check if current bid is 1.35mill, ok.. it is, after 1 hour, i go check again, current and bid is 1.5mil WTF?

That is also one of the reason.

And what is the status? Are you still Winning ? If you're still Winning, you do not need to worry but people can easily outbid you by +5%.
But the main objective is that you must put the best amount that you can afford, i.e. 2m and not 1.5m.

You place your MAX BID that you're willing to pay, and by the time the auction ends and the "Current Bid" is lower than your MAX BID and you're the Winner, you will get the Item + REFUNDED the balance.

Therefore, you just place the maximum you're willing to pay, AND GO TO SLEEP !! You don't need to camp at the AH for the last few minutes to snipe a winning auction. If you lost the auction, why bother since you not willing to pay more than you initially bidded. Get the point yet ?

As for your brother's case, the "Current Bid" matches his "Max Bid" therefore there is no refund and he win by the "Current Bid" amount.

I bid for a bow that I'm willing to pay maximum 1m yesterday, but the "Current Bid" stopped at 525k right after I place the 1mil amount. After the auction timer ends, nobody bids higher 1m, therefore the Current Bid did not move and I am the winner, with the item and refunded 475k.

how u guys farm so much money...        i got 800k in my stash happy already...
