The Bid Increments are automatic and set to increase gradually as the highest bid increases. The current increment on a given auction can be found in the left panel of the main auction page, just above the current price. The Bid increment works like this: when a certain amount is reached during the auction, the increment will change to the corresponding amount. The table below shows the exact amounts for the default increments.
