Saved by the Down Button at NameJet

If you bid on auctions at NameJet, you’re probably familiar with the up and down arrows in the control panel control panel buttons.

These buttons allow you to increase or decrease your bid by the standard bid increments. Bidders can also input their maximum bid amount by hand if they prefer, but sometimes it’s just easier hitting the up arrow to place a bid.

If you have bidder’s remorse – or if you fat finger a much higher bid than intended, the down arrow button can rescue you. With the down button, you are able to reduce your maximum bid if you would like, all the way down to the high bid amount.

Let’s say you’re bidding on an auction and type in 1000 instead of 100. You become the high bidder at $85, but your maximum bid is sitting there at $1,000. Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping someone outbids you – or having to reach out to tech support and explain your predicament as you might have to do on other platforms, you can easily reduce your maximum bid to as low as the high bid. You will still be the highest bidder, but the next bid will outbid you.

This is a nice feature offered by NameJet.
