[quote="Anonymous"][quote="mario"]2.37 because while ebay will still allow anything that's an increment above current high bid, it will still try to bump the price up to current high bidder's maximum bid + bid increment.[/quote] Good explanation, Mario. [quote="Cupid"]eBay using the bid increment for different calculations in different scenarios[/quote] Yeah, so we see. My case shows different bases used for two aspects of one bid: ACCEPTANCE /REJECTION of new bid is based on current PRICE. CALCULATION of new bid is based on current MAX BID. Thanks, guys.[/quote]
