Does my current bid increase?

If I place a bid of $1 with a max of $10, and the next person places a $2 bid, does my current bid stay at $1, or move above $2?

Your bid becomes $2.25.  Have a look at the following link about bid increments, it shows how the bids go up depending on the amount:

There is also this about how the whole automatic bid system works, - if you plan to do much bidding, it will be a big help to know this:

and above all, - getting outbid.  That one always gives people the most grief:

Happy bidding, hope you win! 🙂
