Train items on auction

You shouldn't have to refresh.

Maybe my Mac doesn't like Ebay auctions.

Buyer's premiums are always part of any auctions.  Usually ranging form 13% to 17%, they can go way up depending upon the venue and the auctioneers.  I don't mind, I just build it into my total cost when I am considering to bid or not to bid.  It's just a cost of doing business.   You can still get some good bargains at auctions.  Ebay is an auction site, and the buyers premium is usually built into the starting price of the item.  You as a buyer don't see the buyers premium on the 'Bay, but the seller has to pay them a total of 13% (10% to eBay and 3% to Paypal), and that includes all shipping costs.

Strick,

I must agree with CW on this one. If you can, sit back and relax a little.

Are you watching though the stout site, or some other way?
I have it up right now, it is updating by itself, as it has for me in the past.

RELAX,  that's all you are supposed to do when you are retired.  When I was working, I had time to relax.  

I find the easiest way to figure my max on an auction bid is my max - buyers premium - shipping (if applicable).   If it goes over that figure,  it wasn't meant to be.

Stout usually works through Liveauctioneers, but I noticed they had their own online site now. It's easy to join the auction (even if you're not logged in) and watch the bidding. You should not have to refresh anything, the bids and items refresh as the bidding goes along.
