I am bidding on eggs on the auction forum and I keep getting outbid immediately...for example, I bid 20.25...I immediately get a message you have been outbid you must now bid 21. I bid 21 and I get a message You have been outbid...I bid 22 and I get the same message. Is there some way that someone can put in an automatic bid when someone over bid them?

TIA
 
Yep. You can put in a max amount to bid and it will automatically increase the bid for you up to your max amount.

Someone has bid a high maximum amount. The auction advances by increments, so anybody who really wants the eggs puts in a high enough maximum, and each bid lower than that is immediately outbid.

Does that help answer your question?

If I really want something, I decide my highest maximum, and enter that. The auction accepts it, and only moves forward the next increment. If somebody else later bids higher than the current amount, my waiting "maximum" bumps the bid up to outbid the other person. Unless that person puts in a maximum over my my maximum amount.
