URGENT Question about increasing my bid

[Vegar 15]

I have a 'silly' question ...

 

I have put a bid on an item with a maximum bid which I want to increase.

 

Can I just put a higher bid in the space for the bid without it increasing? There are no other bidders so far but I REALLY want this item!

 

I have bought quite a few items but have never been in this spot before ... REALLY want it :grin:

i do not think you can. why not make an offer to the seller via q & a.

I took a risk and just put a higher max in the space for bidding and it worked. I was directed to another page to confirm my maximum bid - as simple as that :wink:

 

I don't know what would have happened if there had been other bids on the item? My fear was of course that it would jump to the max ... this is how it is when one sells more than one buys :amazed:

 

I put my trust in the system without really understanding how it works.

That makes two of us! :rolleyes:
