[quote="juangrande"][quote="lazy-sniper"]Note also that using a pre-set increment for an auction item is the choice of a seller at time of listing it, sometimes there isn't one.[/quote] Although [i]Cupid[/i] and [i]nochkin[/i] alluded to it, perhaps it's worth pointing out that this is [i]false[/i]. Bid increments are set by eBay based on the current price (showing bid) of an auction: the seller has no control over them.[/quote]
