do you think you guys will ever make like an auto bid thing...... like the computer will bid for you if you get outbided until you decide to stop bidding on it. because i want heaps of items but i never seem to be able to win them since i dont go basil 24/7 and also they dont have a auto win option on it....

Nopes! The very reason with auction is that you should be interested into wanting to win it.

That will have people bidding incredibly high, so you autobid them, and you have to pay... Think about eBay vigilantes

It won't happen. If you just so happen to be at school when the auction's up, oh well. The whole point of auctions, yes, is to get bids, but it's by both how fast the person gets to the auction and bids and how much money they can handle until they give up, not just the latter one.

Person A sets autobid to 1m on the current price immediately. Person B does the same. Price goes up to 9878888840000000000000000

that would be some-what useful, but if two people want the same item with autobid and they leave it for a while, you might be paying a lot for something worth so little

Oh my god thats so exploitable. Person A: 100k mesos on an equip Person B: 129m on the equip Person A: Autobid automatically outbids

What he means by autobid is that you bid on an item. Ex. 1m. You're willing to pay 1.5m for the item, but wish for less. Under the bid, there should be an auto bid box where you set an amount that you're willing to pay. Ex. 1.5m. So if someone bids 1.1m, you'll automatically bid the increment higher than that. Ex. 1.2m. Your autobid will keep on bidding above the previous person until it reaches your set amount. Ex. 1.5m. So if someone bids 1.6m, your autobid will stop bidding for you.

clams said: " This person knows how to use ebay." I already suggested this ages ago. Basil didn't listen =/

yea...i use eBay, and that's how auto bidding works *points above * ^ it doesn't just keep bidding, if it did. someone would buy a shirt for 50 billion dollars? (2 auto bidders fighting against each other) lmao anyways. this feature would be cool.
