Allow bidders to have maximum bid
When a bidder bids on an auction, let them have an option to enter a maximum bid they're willing to pay... similar to Ebay. Then the system will auto bid on his behalf if his initial bid is outbidded by another user. This allows bidders from different countries win auctions without having to be up at some crazy hours to outbid other users before the auction ends.
This is now possible!

I also agree to this idea! But the amount should be within the reach. I think a minimum amount may be $100

Agree! I would love to see this feature. I get messages from bidders all the time who are frustrated they missed out on an auction.

that would be really nice and help buyers to keep a maximum bid set, rather than waiting till the auction ends to keep bidding

Max bid is good only if the seller is just as honestly straight about the high bid placed. Simply because there's always loopholes to favor someone to put in the higher bid after the first high bid is shown.
In order for seller to be able to have a chance of securing a higher bid and not prolong the time, maybe restricting new bidders within the last hour or two so that those existing participants can continue to outbid each other. This would certainly benefit the seller and the best bid wins without incurring extra time extension each time.

Highly support this. Would often go higher in price, but don't want to overpay either and the 2h extension of the bid is sometimes during the time I sleep.

We're looking into this process and hope to improve on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
