When the item is in a low price, the next bidder increases the bid by 50 cents or so. But when it reaches a higher price, the next bidder will have to increase it by 5 dollars more or so. Any expert out there who can simplify the way it works? Thank you.

I just bid the maximum I would pay for it. If I get overbid I'll look for another. If the bidding dosen't reach my max ,even better.

They do it that way because they want the bid increments to reflect the price of the item.
If an item is at $500 and you keep incrementing it by 5 cents, that's going to be really annoying, esp right near the end. So when an item is going for a high price, the increments are higher to keep people from just nickel and diming it (literally, in this case).
Hope that makes some more sense to ya...

You'd have to contact ebay and ask for this one.
