How Do Bids Work on Mercari vs. Yahoo! Auctions?

It's important to understand the differences between bidding systems on Mercari and Yahoo! Auctions.

• Automatic Increment: If you place a maximum bid, the system automatically increases your bid in set increments to maintain your lead until your maximum is reached.

• Final Price: You pay the final auction price, which could be less than your maximum bid if there was no competition up to that amount.

• Immediate Maximum Bid: Unlike Yahoo! Auctions, Mercari does not use automatic incremental bidding. If you place a bid of for example ¥20000, the current bid jumps directly to ¥20000.

• Final Price: You pay the amount you bid, regardless of other bids.
