A maximum bid is an option which represents the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item. Our automatic bidding software will place bids on your behalf until reaching the amount desired.

Therefore, we recommend placing your maximum bid as early as possible!
Once bids are placed they cannot be deleted. All bids are final and non-retractable. However, you can adjust your maximum bid by entering a new amount, whether it's higher or lower.
