stupid e bay question

[GetCarter]

Sorry for being a klutz, but I've spent 20 mins reading eBay help and it's been of no help.

If an item is listed top bid: £100 and I bid £1000, and the second highest bidder is £101, do I pay £1000 or £102.

£106 iirc.

ETA: I was wrong. You'll bid will go in at the lowest, increments here:

Unless it's got a reserve on it, in which case the bid will go up to the reserver price.

You run the risk that some w@nker will put a few higher bids on to try and win, suss that you've put a high bid in and, just to really f_ck you up go for a big bid. You then end up paying a lot over the price for the item unless you are watching and cancel your bid in time.

1st rule of Ebay - never bid more than you are prepared to pay for an item.

...and if you really want to win something, enter a max bid that is really your maximum bid, to avoid disappointment.
