I am pretty sure this means that someone placed their max bid in an auction so they don't have to sit in front of the computer to outbid someone.

Whenever you place a bid, as long as it's LESS than their already placed bid/bids, you will automatically get outbid.

Omar is correct. Someone previously put in a "proxy bid" which is an amount higher than the current high bid. If someone comes in and doesn't make a bid higher than the proxy bid, then they will be automatically outbid.

Not sure what your asking here. Are you asking how you can put an automatic bid yourself?

You just put the max amount you want to spend for the auction. Lets say its $100.

You bid $100.

If the auction is at $12. And someone bids the next bid up (which would be $17), you will AUTOMATICALLY outbid them because you have your bid of $100. This will continue until another bidder goes past your $100 bid.
