How do I know what my maximum bid should be? Will you continue to increase the price of my bid so that I will win the auction? How do you know how much I'm willing to pay for the item? Do I have to manually increase my bid during the auction? I'm very confused.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your question about general sniping. Simply specify the highest bid you are willing to pay. We will place that bid and eBay’s proxy system will ensure you pay the minimum amount possible, which is one minimum bid increment above the next highest bidder.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Thank you
