So on multiple occasions of bidding on an item here I bid and the item automatically goes up 10 to $15 I bid multiple times and every time I bid it automatically outbids Me by 10 to 15 dollars even though the items is no Reserve can someone please tell me if this is some type of auto bidding to where the seller of the item can get the maximum amount of money he can for what he's selling it's a little frustrating when you see the item for a certain amount of money then you bid it goes up you bid again it goes up you bid and it goes up almost automatically so I would like some help with this because if that's the case then they should not be putting no reserve on there if this is what they're doing if they want a certain amount of money for the item then they should put it on the reserve

  It's not a reserve, it is the fact that someone else has set a max bid amount they are willing to pay. When ever there is a new bid like by you, the system will increase the bid automatically until it is the new high bid or it reaches their max bid limit. Decide what the max you are willing to pay and set your own max bid, you will either win or your limit will be reached. This is how it works.

  Or, the auto bid will end when you out bid the auto bidder.😉 -------------Ray
