Also, there is an option that you can put your maximum price you're willing to pay.

Say the item starts off at $10 and you bid $13. Then you look back an hour later and see that the person bidded $15. You can then set a max bid that will automatically raise the person that is trying to out-bid you. So you set your max bid to $25. The thing will only increase your bid amount by the lowest intervall allowed by the seller. So now you have your max bid at $25 and someone goes and bids $18. It will automatically raise your bid to $20 (if it's a 2 dollar increment) and will keep raising it if someone tries to beat you. But it will only add more money up till the 25 dollar mark. If someone bids 26 dollars, then you will have to go in manually and out-bid them.
