I thought the admin said, there wont be autobidding again, but i was shocked and surprise to see it existing. Please, how can you over bid someone that has already activated this? And how can i activate this auto bidding also. | 28/06/2012 18:35 |

Autobidding? I assume you mean you're bidding and getting immediately overbid? When you bid on a player, there's bid and there's max bid. The other guy put in a high max bid. The best way to bid is using max bid to place your highest offer on a player, or close to your highest bid. For example if there's a player I want on the market for 2 million, and I want to spend 4 million on him, I'll bid 4 million on him with max bid. it registers as a 2 million dollar bid, but if someone else bids on the player the bid will go up. If someone bids more than 4 million, they'll outbid me. |

No. Here is how it would go: A player is on auction for $0, you put the max bid at $100,000, the auction price is at $0 at the moment -if it ended right now, you'd pay $0. -If someone came in and bid a max bid of $50,000, the auction would then be at $60,000. -If they then came in and put a max bid of $200,000, then you'd be outbid, and you could bid up to $199,000 and you'd be outbid, but the auction price would raise to about $10,000 above your last bid. Basically, your best choice is to always use the max bid box, very rarely do you want to use 'bid'. |

Basically, your best choice is to always use the max bid box, very rarely do you want to use 'bid'. This is correct but only if you are online at the time. If you are offline, and you get outbid, then your next bid will be your max bid, so for example in the case of "player is on auction for $0, you put the max bid at $100,000, the auction price is at $0 at the moment" if someone came in and bid 50,000 your next bid would not be 60,000 (unless you are online) but your max bid of $100,000. |

@king. Are u very sure of this because from what i've noticed so far. It seems as if those that use the max bid are not always online, because i used to check their last login time and it doesnt look as if they were online because of long time they logged in. | 29/06/2012 01:57 |

John I think you're right. I don't know where I got my idea. The auction I'm in now is going like you and illex said. | 29/06/2012 02:38 |
