AuctionStealer bid?

Jack_the_Lad_4

Can anyone please tell me :

If you leave a bid with AuctionStealer using their free service; do they place your maximum bid automatically or go a bid above the current high bid?

ie. Item has 20 secs to go and is currently £36 . My max bid left with AuctionStealer is £60. Do they automatically bid £60 or just go above the £36.

Cheers - Jack

No it will only bid that which is necessary to win the auction

It has to bid £60, how else can it work??

It places a 'normal' ebay bid of £60.

As all ebay bids are proxy bids, if the current bidder (who's bid is at £36) has set a maximum of, say, £45 then your bid of £60 beats that, but you will only appear to have bid just enough to have beaten the £45 maximum (i.e. you will win at £46).

Thanks for that info Altarf.

I'd scoured their site for that info and couldn't find it anywhere. Will use them happily now.
