also. if I make a max bid of say $150, and no one bids any higher, if I win the item, does that mean I have to pay $150? or just .50 cents higher than the bidder that's under me?

there is no way to see a maximum bid, that would defeat the fun of proxy bidding... you will never be charged for you maximum(proxy) bid unless it is like you said, the next highest bid... so if you were bidding on something with a proxy of $100, and the auction ends and the highest bid is $80, you would pay that...

on a side note, e-bay roulette is a fun game, essentially see how high you can force someones proxy to go , without you being the winner, it can be expensive, but fun!...
