Source text - English What is a "maximum bid amount"?
Your maximum bid amount is the highest price you are willing to pay for an item. You should determine beforehand the most you are really willing to pay for an item and then enter a single bid at that amount in the Bid Amount field. An early bid supported by a high maximum bid amount can make you a winner! Your maximum bid amount (if you are a current high bidder) will not be shown to other bidders until after the auction closes. The goal when using SmartBid is to win an item at the lowest successful price. To do so, you must be the bidder who placed the highest maximum bid at auction close. The lowest successful price may not necessarily be the maximum bid amount you submitted to win the auction, unless there was a tie. Typically, the lowest successful price is the next highest bidder's maximum bid amount plus the stated bid increment.
How are winning bids determined?
In most auctions, a number of identical items are offered for sale at the same time. When the auction closes, the highest bidders win the available items at the actual bid price. Bids are sorted in order of price, quantity, and then time. If bids are tied for price, the buyer who has bid on the larger quantity of items wins. If a tie still exists, the earlier of the bidders wins.
Translation - German Was ist ein „Maximalgebot”?
Ihr Maximalgebot ist der höchste Preis, den Sie für einen Artikel zahlen würden. Sie sollten vorher festlegen, wie viel Sie für ein Produkt wirklich zahlen möchten, und dann in das Feld „Ihr Maximalgebot“ ein einziges Gebot eintragen. Ein früh abgegebenes Gebot plus ein hohes Maximalgebot können Sie zum Erfolg führen! Ihr Maximalgebot (wenn Sie der aktuelle Höchstbietende sind) bleibt anderen Bietern bis nach Auktionsschluss verborgen. Das Ziel bei SmartBid liegt darin, mit dem kleinstmöglichen Gebot erfolgreich zu sein. Um den Zuschlag zu erhalten, müssen Sie bei Auktionsschluss der Bieter mit dem höchsten Maximalgebot sein. Der tatsächlich erzielte Verkaufspreis ist nicht unbedingt das von Ihnen abgegebene Maximalgebot, es sei denn, es gibt mehrere Höchstbieter. Normalerweise beläuft sich das kleinstmögliche erfolgreiche Gebot auf das Maximalgebot des Zweitbieters plus einen Erhöhungsschritt.
Nach welchen Kriterien erhält man den Zuschlag?
Bei den meisten Auktionen werden mehrere identische Artikel gleichzeitig zum Verkauf angeboten. Bei Auktionsschluss erhalten die höchsten Bieter den Zuschlag und erwerben nun die verfügbaren Artikel zum letztendlich erzielten Preis. Die Gebote werden zuerst nach Höhe, Anzahl der Artikel, und danach nach dem Zeitpunkt der Abgabe gereiht. Gibt es mehrere gleich hohe Gebote, so gewinnt jener Bieter, der für die größere Stückzahl geboten hat. Gibt es immer noch mehrere Höchstbietende, so erhält derjenige den Zuschlag, der sein Gebot zuerst abgegeben hat.
