here is how the ebay bidding system works. a maximum bid is not a real bid price it is the price you are willing to pay if the price would get that high. so after you place a maximum bid you can place another the price you are willing to pay goes higher but not the item price. if another person bids the item price will go higher but unless the item price goes higher than your maximum bid you still will be in the lead. i hope this helps and if it doses please vote yes.
