A "Max Bid" refers to the maximum price that you are prepared to pay in order to secure an item during an auction. This figure is crucial because it establishes your bidding limit and helps you manage your budget effectively. Once you set your Max Bid, our system takes over and will automatically place bids on your behalf, incrementally increasing your offer as needed, but only up to the amount you have specified. This means that you can participate in the auction without the need to constantly monitor the bidding process, as our system will act in your best interest to help you win the item while staying within your designated budget.
