And if that guy is right, why do I pay the top bid amount when I am the only bidder on a keyword? Shouldn’t I pay one cent or something like that? Which never happens…

Hi Steve
Well I wanna play but when I am playing alone, why do I have to pay more than the minimum bid? What auction is that if I am the only bidder?
