You can learn about Proxy bidding >Here<.

Because all bids are proxy bids, AS only needs to place one bid for you, your Max. It's eBay that accepts your max and does the proxy process. It's not the last bid that wins, it's the highest accepted bid that always wins.

Example:

Current price is $22 and winners max is $25.
You snipe for $32.15 Current price is now $26 with you as winner.
Another snipe for $28.50... You still win for $29.50 because eBay has your max at $32.15
Oh no! another snipe for 32.50 and they win... You should have set your max higher. But then again, maybe that's to much money for this trinket? Another will come along to bid on soon, and it may sell for the 'right price' (less than your max)

Good luck and WELCOME to the forum.
