Reply to "Quirk in system with Bid below Increment?"

...ALWAYS apply. For any bid to ever be accepted by ebay, it MUST be at least 1 bid increment above the CURRENT WINNING BID.

One can end up winning by less than a bid increment with a proxy bid.

Example: Opening bid $5

Bidder#1 Bids $7, Current winning bid#1 = $5
Bidder#2 Bids $10.01, Current winning bid#2 = $7.50
Bidder#3 Bids $10, Current winning bid#2 = $10.01

Bidder #2 wins above example by $0.01. At NO TIME did any bidder bid less than at least one bid increment above the current winning bid.

Does that help?
