does multiple bidding add up to your end price on ebay?

[bron357]

Your bid only goes up if someone else is bidding against you. You can keep going in and placing a higher max bid (but why?) but unless or until another bidder starts to bid, the price you will pay (if you win the auction) doesn't change. If no one else bids, it doesn't matter what your max bid is or how many times you entered a bid amount, you'll get it at the first bid amount. With ebay you are not supposed to keep on bidding again and again and again by like a dollar more each time. You should decide at the beginning what you max bid you will spend is, and you put that in. The price will only go up as much as it needs to to beat any other bidders, until someone elses max bid is more than yours, then they are winning the item.
