You can also place a proxy bid, proxy bidding allows you to place your “High Bid”. At all

times you will only pay the lowest required bid should you win the auction. For example, if

the current bid on an auction is 500.00 you can place a proxy bid of 2,000. Should you

remain the only bidder you will only pay 500.00. However should the item receive other bids

the site will automatically re-bid for you (upto 2,000 in this scenario) to ensure you

remain in the lead.
