Set Max Bid allows you to set and forget auto bidding at a max amount that you select. The program will bid for you as other people bid on the product up to your set max. If your max bid is hit, the auction will notify you and see if you would like to increase your max bid.  It is a great way to set your desired limits on items you identified that you would like and not have to worry about sitting and watching the bidding for a three-day period.

Fast Bid will default to the next higher incremental bid.
