im sorry for posting this here,but i really didnt know where else to post it.is it possible that some guys use some kind of bots for auctions?at two auctions,the moment i submit my bid,theres a comment that my bid wasnt enough to make me a highest bidder.i look at the item again,and the same guy that was the highest bidder before,is again.i dont think that those guys are watching the items 24 hours a day and have lighting reflexes,faster then auction server...ive tryed last night and again few minutes ago.its the same routine..?

Current auction price is 50k
Person who starts auction sets 25k bid increments
Player enters his highest bid of 500k
You enter your highest bid of 75k
New c/o now is 100k

Proxy Bidding.

When you bid you can set a maximum offer- an amount that you wish the site to automatically bid up to on your behalf which means you do not need to keep revisiting the auction to raise your bid (if you have been outbid by someone else).

It updates automatically, the user does not have an auction bot.

they have entered a amount higher then what you are entering b4

so if they bid 50k on a item at 10k you'll have to bid over 50k inorder to be the "high bidder"
