@alicewhipple1 Your bid is higher than the first bidder. 3704 is your max bid. Someone can bid 503 or more like it says and you still will be the highest bidder until 3705 is reached. Then you would have to bid another max bid to be the highest. Although you may bid all of your credits, as long as the amount hasn't reached that number, you will only pay the amount of credits needed to win the auction. Also don't mention what your max bid is. It keeps people bidding more and the likely hood of you winning higher. It took me winning a few auctions to fully figure it out. Hope this helps. Good luck :)
