Bid increments
The amount the bid increases by is known as a bid increment. Bid increments are smaller when the bid price is low, and larger in higher price brackets.
| Current Price | Bid Increment |
| $0.01 - $99.99 | $1.00 |
| $100.00 - $249.99 | $2.50 |
| $250.00 - $499.99 | $5.00 |
| $500.00 - $999.99 | $10.00 |
| $1,000.00 - $2,499.99 | $25.00 |
| $2,500.00 and up | $50 |
Occasionally you'll see the bid price increase by less than the normal increment. This means that someone else placed an automatic bid just slightly higher than your maximum bid amount.
