A little confused as to how this works:
* If someone manually puts in their max bid by sniping at the last second, will the auto bid system set by another user have enough time to outbid the snipe bid?
* If 4 bidders have the exact same maximum bid, how will the automatic bid system choose between the 4?
* Thirdly, if there are multiple bidders with very high max bids, how will the system choose who gets the incremental bid? For eg. Current bid is $10. Someone snipes with $15 at the last moment, there are 2 auto bidders with higher maximum bids $20 and $30. Will the eBay auto bidding prioritize the $30 bidder and just increment the other $20 bid making the winning bid $22.5?

Hi @jacobspeeds! For your first question if the person that is auto bidding has a higher max bid than the person that is manually bidding than yes the auto bidder will normally win the auction.
For your second question on the 4 bidders have this exact same max bid the winning bid will go to the person who first set their maximum bid.
For your lat question the system is set up to have the person with the highest maximum bid to win the item by bidding higher than someone else maximum bid.
