I’d like to start a peaceful discussion, a slightly ironic one, maybe with others who, like me, didn’t know what was behind an auction. Maybe you’ve sometimes noticed a strange auction and wondered about it. why do I get outbid in less than half a second?why did I lose it by a few seconds?why does it feel like I’m competing with robots instead of people? It’s about automatic bids... but what are they? "Automatic bidding is the easiest way to bid in an eBay online Auction. Just enter the highest amount you’re willing to pay for an item and we’ll do the rest." Only by searching through the pages will you find it and it doesn’t show up easily, but... what does it mean to take part in an auction with automatic bids? The race begins, maybe ready to place the last bid in front of the keyboard, thinking you’re competing with other people, and instead? Those who know the automatic bidding system sit back спокойно, and as the rules say "Enter the maximum amount you’re willing to pay. At this point, we’ll place a bid on your behalf, so that you remain the highest bidder, but only up to the limit you set". Nice, you might say! one sits back, sets everything up, and a robot does the bidding for you according to how you set it. You get to the end of the auction and, nice and easy, make the payment if you set the highest bid. So you who don’t know this will be behind the screen bidding, while the one using automatic bidding goes for a walk, eats, because a robot does the bidding for them. How can you beat a robot that automatically outbids you in less than 1 sec? You have to go above the price set in the automatic bid so as to stop the robot’s bid! which of course is hidden. More than an auction, it seems like a race where you start from the starting line and the others with automatic bidding are in front of you, just a step from the finish line. Thanks for your patience in reading all this, and for not insulting me , but until today I didn’t know what automatic bidding was, I wanted to share a simple post for anyone who has found themselves in my position and didn’t know about automatic bidding. thanks
