## How do max bids work? - FAQ - Support

All bids on Budi are max bids. This means you enter the highest amount you are willing to pay for an item.

Our bidding engine then handles the bidding for you automatically. It raises your bid in line with the predefined **bid increments** – always by the smallest possible amount – up to your max bid. This means you do not have to monitor the auction yourself every time someone else places a bid.

Bids placed automatically by the bidding engine are marked with ![](https://www.budi.se/static/img/icons/a-letter.svg) in the bid history.

> Max bids are sometimes called "auto bids" or "automatic bids" on other auction platforms. It is the same concept – you enter a maximum amount and the system handles the bidding for you.

---

**Can I change my max bid?**

To raise your max bid: You can raise your max bid at any time by entering a new amount. The system updates it immediately.

To lower your max bid: You can lower your max bid, but only as long as your new max bid is still above the current highest bid in the auction.

**Do I always have to place bids manually?**

No. Once you have placed a max bid, the system automatically raises your bid according to the bid increments, up to your maximum amount.

**Can others see my max bid?**

No. Your max bid is hidden from other bidders. They only see the current leading bid.

**What happens if two people place the same max bid?**

The person who placed their max bid first gets the advantage and remains the leading bidder.

**Can I cancel a max bid?**

You cannot remove a max bid completely, but you can lower it – as long as it is still higher than the current highest bid.

**Example of how max bids work**

You place a max bid of _1 000 SEK_. The highest existing bid is _700 SEK_.

The system then automatically raises your bid to the next bid increment, for example _750 SEK_.

If someone else bids _800 SEK_, the system immediately raises your bid to _850 SEK_.

This continues until someone bids above your max bid of _1 000 SEK_ – or until you win the auction at a lower price.
