IOW, the increment is effective only for the automatic proxy > upbidding-to-max, yes? Not as I understand it. You cannot enter manually a bid which is less than the minimum allowed bid. The minimum allowed bid is the current maximum bid, plus the minimum bid increment. So, eBay's web page would not accept $100.01 as a valid bid on an item which currently stood at $100 and had a minumum bid increment of more than 1 cent (which, at that price, it would have).
