How does bidding work for an item with a reserve price?

When you bid on an auction item with a reserve price, if your maximum bid meets the reserve, it will automatically increase to meet that price.

Example: An Auction item with a starting bid of R100.00 and a reserve of R1000.00. Bidder A bids R150.00 The current bid increases to R150.00 but the reserve isn’t met. If nobody else places a bid, Bidder A does not win the item.

Bidder B places a maximum bid of R1500.00 The current bid increases to R1000.00 (the amount of the reserve) and the reserve is met. If nobody else places a bid, Bidder B wins the item at the price of R1000.00.
