Bid decrement/lot level

$

Hi all.

 

When I create an eAuction I often use lots with many line items. I choose then mainly "Bid at Item level, compete at Lot level" - it has many advantages.

 

But my concern is that bid decrement rules apply only to lot level. It is somehow counterintuitive. The participant sees the minimal bid decrement amount but it is applicable to lot level (one should make a lot of calculation to see its impact on line level) but has to give its bid to line level.

 

If I set initial values for particular participants they can even worsen its bid as long as they improve the lot level. It is not what I would like to have.

 

My dream would be to have bid decrement rule applicable to line item level, that the participant could either leave the line or improve it by a particular minimal amount. How do you cope with this issue?

 

Best regards
