The markup added to your bid is 17% auction cost + 21% TAV. The tax rate depends on the kinds of goods that are offered. 
For example. You place a bid of 100€. Your total amount will be 100€ + 17€(markup)= 117€ + TAV.

There are 2 ways to place a bid:

A static bid:
You place a bid by yourself, manually. When someone outbids you, you have the possibility to place a higher bid.

An auto bid:

With an automatic bid you indicate the maximum price that you are willing to pay for the lot. The system will automatically increase your bid if you are outbid by a third party. This continues until your aximum bid is reached.
It's not possible to delete your auto bid, but you can cancel it by placing a static bid at the amount of the next minimum acceptable bid

When another bidder places a static bid equal to the maximum of your earlier placed automatic bid, the automatic bid beats the static bid.
 

All bids are registered by a process-server and It is not possible to cancel a bid.

An auction ends when all lots are closed. To maintain an overview, the lots end over a period of time. When there is a bid within the last 5 minutes of a lot, the remaining time will reset at 5 minutes.
