I'm trying the new auction site. I was able to sign in and change my profile... as well as post an auction.

One thing, the two auctions I bid on went to a higher initial bid than necessary. On the Bonsai Today, I was the first bidder, it was listed at $5 ..I bid a max a $12... it should have listed me at $5 but went to $10... the same thing happened on the test auction... I was the opening bid and it went to $2.00..Is it me or am I right?

Hi Jay,

As it turns out there were reserves on both those auctions, so your first bid automatically was increased to the amount of the reserve, within your maxbid amount.

This is the way it is supposed to work, but it should be made clearer with some notification.

Regards,

Matt
