I could use more info on bidding process
I must be missing something. In another post, someone said that if you set a max bid of say, 1500 points and end up being the highest bidder with the next bid at 1000 points, you would win the card for 1001 points. I had a scenario where I was the only bidder shown and 1000 PP was listed as minimum. I put a max of 2000 and won the bid for 2000. Why wasn't I only charged 1001 points?

While I would be guessing, it could be that someone tried to snipe your auction at 5 seconds and bid 2000 against you. As the original bidder you win the tie, and it might not have time to update the # of bidders.

It's not explained anywhere, but what you need to do is...place your low bid first. Then, while you are currently the high bidder, place another higher bid. Your current bid won't go up, but will automatically increase to match any incoming bids up to your limit.

Best way to do it is just bid your highest price first. The auction house will only use enough to top the next highest bid. The remainder will stay in reserve and only be used if someone else bids you up.

OK, I tested the auction again over lunch and it appears to be working as others have suggested. So either I'm crazy or whatever was going on last night has fixed itself.
