Will auction sniper bid by the correct bid increments or does it just top it off by 1 cent? I noted on certain bids that topping a bid off by one cent in certain circumstances was enough to win an auction.
Here is an example of an auction i took part in recently without using sniping tools and i noted that the winner was probably a sniper - what confuses me is sometimes the autobidding will got up by eg 1 dollar 50 and other times 5 dollars. Is this because each individuals bid increment has to go up by e.g. 5 dollars at a time?
I also note that there appears to be time delay glitches - if you look at Bidder 7 below he presents 250 dollars above me in the list although he has autobid earlier in the day
