I dont know if this has been suggested or not.

i would like it so that when bidding on an auction there is a auto bid button that you press, then put in the amount that would be added on to the highest amount, then it will bid on it for you. So if you are going away, but there is an auction on that you really want to win you just enable it.

How:
press auto bid
then put on amount eg. You put 9 as the amount If someone else puts 1600, it will bid 1609 for you

it can be deactivated anytime during auction
you can put a max (optional) where it wont bid over a certain amount
it will send you a notification when it has bid for you
it wont bid if your pokewallet becomes depleted

this is one of the WORST suggestions I ever saw now people don't stand a chance to win auctions anymore! and what if more than one person auto bid at exactly the same time?

trying to get it on ranklist so plz interact with it

It is useful, so you don't have to check multiple times if it is the right amount of 0s so you won't make any mistake and bid 10 times more than you want.

I support, but if someone bids 500k for a Pichu and Auto Bid brings it to 500,001... Thats not good

vanillite1: Please be a little more friendly ;) You wouldn't want your own suggestions to be described as the "worst idea ever" either, would you?

Back to topic:
I see two difficulties in this suggestion:
As you described it, this "Auto Bid" always adds a certain amount to the current bid. Now what happens if someone bids 999,999 Pokedollar on a Bidoof just to troll the auto-bidders? That wouldn't work well this way.

Another possibility would be to set a maximum auto bid. However, then again this suggestion defeats the purpose/system of the Auction House. Because then you could Auto-Bid 10,000 Pokedollar on an auction, but still be lucky to get it for 100 Pokedollar if no one else bids.
That's very bad for people who set up auctions and want to make money with their Pokémon. I prefer the auction system as it is now.

Oh, I missed that part O.o
I just agree with auto bid once, not multiple times...
