Start bid is cheap as it is now second bidder has been allowed to bid 20p higher, why is everything stacked in the buyers favour, let’s be honest what use is 20p to a seller,it’s pathetic and disgusting

the lower the start price, the lower the bid increments

Bid increments

Bid increments are smaller when the bid price is low, and larger in higher price brackets.

Current price	Bid increment
£0.01 - £0.99	£0.05
£1.00 - £4.99	£0.20
£5.00 - £14.99	£0.50
£15.00 - £59.99	£1.00
£60.00 - £149.99	£2.00
£150.00 - £299.99	£5.00
£300.00 - £599.99	£10.00
£600.00 - £1,499.99	£20.00
£1,500.00 - £2999.99	£50.00
£3,000.00 and up	£100.00

set your start price at the minimum you are willing to sell for

Eh?

You as the seller choose the price you start your auction listings at which in turn means you're choosing how much you would be happy to sell the items for.

Always assume you'll get one bid.

Don't start your listings at such low prices if you don't want to sell cheaply.

You decide the start price, which determines the amount of the increments.

Nothing is stacked in the buyer's favour unless you let it be.
