I just bid on an item and won. Usually when I win, the winning bid is 2nd highest bid+ some small increment... but this time it was my maximum/exact bit amount!I'm trying to figure out if the policy had changed or the auction was different or something like that... Or just that the 2nd highest bid was just below the amount I specified?

The bid history is here: https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/326359593256?item=326359593256&rt=nc It appears the second highest bidder's maximum was within one bid increment of your maximum bid amount just as woodland_gnome indicated, and this forced your bid to its maximum amount. https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/bidding/automatic-bidding?id=4014

Is the winning price still 2nd highest + increment? | Ask a Mentor
