Help for new boy | Auction Sniper

Silly question - does the bid put go up by the required increment rather than to the amount I post on Auctionsniper (which I assume to be a maximum).
Probably missed it but if the bid goes up in increments towards the amount posted, where is it in the description/ instructions.
Thanks

AS will place only one bid for your max amount. It's eBay that does the increment and proxy thing.

Except for the timing, letting AS bid for you is just like bidding yourself at eBay. You should enter the max you're willing to pay, and hope to win for less.

AS sends your snipe to Ebay. Ebay uses only the amount needed to win the bid,considering the snipe is higher than the last bid. Think of your snipe as a proxy bid, placed one time, at the last possible moment.
Welcome to our forum!

And, the only silly question is the one not asked!
