Q: How does the bidding work?

A: The first initial bidder sets the bidding. If the starting bid is set at $1 and the first bid is $1.01 that bidder will not be able to adjust the bidding price with an auto bid or any other bid until that bid has been overbid. Choose your first bid wisely. After the first intial bidding has been submitted. Every bid after will be at least in one dollar increments or more if you choose to do so. Meaning if you would like to increase the price from; example $2 to $20 you may do so with the enter your bid option and it will set the price to $20 immediately. You may choose to do auto bidding and select the amount in pricing you would like to submit. Your bidding will automatically bid in $1 increments against other bidders if there are any, until you reach your submitted price.
