I saw the time and price jump a bunch when there were only a few seconds left on an auction. What happened?
Two or more BidBuddies were set up to place bids in the same interval. When this happens and the time is close to zero, the BidBuddies will begin to place bids one after another. This will go on until there is only one BidBuddy that can place a bid at a given price. This takes only a split second. When the BidBuddies are done overbidding each other, the time of the auction will increase by 15 seconds * # of bids bought. The price will also increase accordingly. Some auction have a maximum time jump cap. In this case the total amount by which the auction jumps is limited. Be careful when placing BidBuddies. They can be a very powerful tool in winning auctions. However, they can also cause you to place a lot of bids in a row if they compete with another BidBuddy head-to-head. Please make sure you understand BidBuddies before creating them. If you want to limit the number of bids a BidBuddy will place, make sure you only give it a couple of bids at a time.
