the current bid is what it would sell for now if the auction ended. Your maximum bid is the most you are willing to pay if the bids go higher. as long as the bid is below your max, you should be the high bidder. if you go to that item, it will tell you if you are the high bidder. You say that your max is $70, so I assume you have bid on that item, in which case you should be high bidder if the bid is only $16.50. If someone else bids, your bid will automatically go up to the next highest until it reaches your max.

The current bid is what you will actually pay for it at the time and the max bid is as far as your willing to go. So if you put a max bid in for $20, and the person before you had put in a max bid of $15, then it's going to go to $16 when you place your max bid of $20, and go in increments until a new max bid is reached. So, if you want something very badly, you better put in what you would be willing to pay for it, first! Good luck!

Your max. bid is how much you are willing to spend on that item if someone else bids on that item....
Say the item is 16.50 and you put a max bid of 70....someone else could bid up to 67.50 and get out bid by you ....they don't know you bid 70 bucks and they might stop...
The current bid would then be a dollar more than his last bid (68.50)....and if time ran out, you would pay the current bid of 68.50.
Here's a hint to max bids....only bid how much you are willing to spend....and never bid in round numbers (example: instead of 70 bid 71.99) that way someone won't out bid you by a few cents...no one expects a .99 cent kicker.
I hope that helped.

Maximum bid means that the seller doesn't want anymore to be bidded than that amount. Current bid is the highest amount that is currently being bidded.

The max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for the item and current bid is what another ebayer has already wagered on the item. Good luck.
