A Quick Bid lets you place the next minimum bid for the auction without typing an amount yourself.

That amount is worked out from the current bid and the auction's set increment, so it is the minimum bid you can place on the item right now.

If you want to bid a different amount, use the Custom Bid button instead.

Standard Bidding works like in any auction. Items are listed at a starting amount and increments must be made at no less than a specified value. Once you have placed your bid, your profile page Auction History table will be updated with the item you have bid on, how much you bid, and what the status of the item is (Were you outbid? Has the auction ended? Did you win the item?).

Should someone outbid you, you will receive an email from JuggleBee stating so which will give you the opportunity to visit the item and place a followup bid. Auctions officially end at 8pm on the night it closes but the time will be extended by 15 minutes per bid within the last 15 minutes of the auction allowing you a chance to get in your final bids without someone cutting you off last minute.

A Maximum Bid is the most you are willing to pay for the item on auction. You may place only one maximum bid per item. Once a maximum bid has been placed, you may continue bidding as normal. 2 hours prior to the auction closing, the highest maximum bid will come into effect updating the items bid price. This allows other users an opportunity to place another bid should they want to. You will receive an email from JuggleBee as soon as your maximum bid comes into effect, given it is higher than the current bids and any other maximum bids made by other users.
