An auto-bid occurs when a bidder has already set a maximum bid higher than the bid just placed.

For example, you could make a maximum bid of $500 but the current bid is only $250. When another user comes along and bids $300, the auto-bid kicks in and brings your bid up to $300. This continues until your maximum of $500 is reached.
