I seem to remember that on fleabay there used to be an automatic bidding option, ie..
You bid up £10 on item "a" and then £20 on item "b"
Item "a" finishes before "b", if you're bid on "a" was unsucessful ebay would then bid on item "b" for you?
Have I imagined this??????
Ebay, Automatic Bidding In Order....did I Imagine This?

You been smoking that stuff again?
Hehe
You get programs which do it for you, called Snipers. Ebay themselves don't do it. If you bid on two items and you win both you pay for both!! I remember using a site online which was free and allowed you to "snipe" at a set time before the auction ended but cant remember it now

just increase your maximum bid to the price you limit yourself too and it will bid up to that no higher

I thought it had disapeared.
Nevermind it would have been handy, I've seen a couple of sets of seats that I quite fancy. I'll just have to try and remember to be around when the auction finishes.

I have used fleabay before and am well aware of the fact that if you stick your max bid then ebay will only bid up to the max bid you entered!!
Maybe I haven't explained it properly??

Nah, the one I'm on about was an actual ebay tool, you could create a list of items(in order of finishing) and then set a max bid on each item. Ebay would then bid to your max bid on each item in your list. Once you'd won a list item it would stop.
