Can i raise my maximum?

Im highest bidder in an auction and it has went to 50p below my maximum bid, is there anyway to increase my maximum without rebidding? as i think i re-entered my maximum once and it pushed the price up:confused:

Does anyone know please?
The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Normally if you increase your maximum bid it will only increase the actual bid if someone has already increased their bid (does that make sense?). You can check & see what has happened in the bid history, but generally you can set your maximum bid without rebidding, unless another bid happens to come in at that moment, which I guess is what may have happened.

    there are several menthods i use to increse my bid amount, firstly and foremostly i use bidnapper to do the work for me, you can monitor how the bidding is going and then adjust your end bid accordingly upto 6 minutes from the end of the auction.
    bidnapper will give you several free bids before yuou have to purchase if your refered by a current user so if you would like to give it a try them messgae me and i'll send you the bidnapper link for the free usage, anyways, if you want the item then just enter a larger bid amount.
