DubaiPropertyAuctions (DPA) uses a helpful 'automatic bidding' system to make bidding on auctions more convenient and less time-consuming for Buyers. It is called the 'DPA Automatic Bidder' and is a computer system which bids on your behalf upto a maximum amount that you authorise.

	Here's how it works: When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the property. This amount is your Maximum Bid. Your Maximum Bid is kept confidential from other bidders and the Seller. The DPA Automatic Bidder system compares your bid to those of the other bidders. The system places bids on your behalf in increments of AED 1000, bidding ONLY ENOUGH to outbid others and maintain your high bid position (or to meet the Reserve Price). The system will bid for you up to your maximum authorised amount. If another bidder has a higher maximum, you will be outbid. BUT, if no other bidder has a higher maximum, you win the property. And you could pay significantly less than the maximum you authorise!

This means you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed!

Note: If your Maximum Bid is the first to be greater than the Seller's Reserve Price, the DPA Automatic Bidder system will automatically jump the price up to meet the Reserve Price, and bidding will continue from there onwards. The system does this on your behalf to give you the best opportunity to win the property (Remember: the Seller is only obligated to sell the property to you if the Reserve Price is met).
