Current bid: £5.50
Your max bid:£7 (which is my bid)
Postage:£1.98
So I'm worried do I have to pay £5.50 as well? Help I hope not
Current bid is what you will pay+postage. Your max bid is just how high you will go.
You entered £7 as the maximum you wanted to pay. ebay bid on your behalf just enough to beat a lower bid but ONLY up to the maximum you gave them. You currently have the highest bid at £5.50 if some one beats that they will raise your bid, but only up to a maximum of £7. If some one bids more than £7 you lose out. The MAXIMUM including p&p your bid could cost you is £8.98
The other person bid £5.50 but your bid is higher so you would win and pay £7 if no one bids higher than that. Plus postage.
I would not worry the price usually skyrockets in last few mins of auction . I was bidding for an I pod the price went so high I decided to get a new one instead
if you win, you will be responsible for the highest bid and the postage, that is all.
