Or is there an automatic bid system like on Ebay where it bids for you until it reaches your maximum bid. Don`t know without looking, just saying.

Yeah, it`s an auto bid system:

"How to Bid
To bid on an item, type your maximum bid amount in the box next to the item description, and click the 'Go' button. Your bid must be above the Minimum Bid amount specified in the box. You will then be asked to confirm your bid. Fill in your username and password and click 'Submit' to complete your bid.

Note*** All bids are done by proxy. When you enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay, automatic bids will be placed for you up to your maximum amount. Using proxy bidding, you can win the item at the lowest possible price. Your maximum bid is only placed when a competing bidder bids the same amount."

That's the auto-bid system at work. It bids for the other person automatically until it reaches that person's maximum bid.

If there are issues with the auction system, posting threads in arbitrary forum sections is not the way to go.

Hint, hint ...
