216118 2004-02-17 03:27:00 The trade me autobid.If i set the bid to 70 dollars then tick autobid the trademe site will automatically bit a small amount of money up from the last person whos outbidding me.
I set the auto bid to 70 dollars but when i clicked ok the website of my auction showed that im bidding for 70 dollars.Am i wrong or is it just showing the maximum price that im willing to go up to>?

216119 2004-02-17 03:32:00 as far as I know it will bid the full $70 if reserve is NOT acheved.

if reserve is met then it will push up at $5 per bid as you expected it would.

216121 2004-02-17 03:39:00 anyway to delete the auto bid in my auction?I didn't expect it would go up .I thought that u can set a max amount?Im not an authenticated trademe user yingxuan (3330)
216122 2004-02-17 03:39:00 looks like you are bidding $70

I would email ring trademe urgently and see what is going on.

216123 2004-02-17 03:54:00 This is normal. What's happened is that someone else has put in an auto bid up to $70 as well. But because you put yours in first your bid is the one that is recorded. CYaBro (73)
216124 2004-02-17 03:57:00 Im the person who put teh autobid of 70 dollars.My username is tammy19.

Hmm????

216125 2004-02-17 04:02:00 Yea, you don't see the user who put in the other auto bid.

Because you both have put in an auto bid up to $70 it just shows the highest bid ($70 in this case) and because you must have been the first to put in your auto bid you get the $70 bid and not the other user.
