If the bid is currently $153.00, all that will show is whatever the increment increase that the buyer has specified..read the page that you submit the bid on and it will tell you.
For example if the seller has set the bid increment amount to be $2.00, when you bid it will show the current price as $155.00 with you as the high bidder.
If the current bidder has set say $250.00 as his max amount, the price will show as $202.00 with him as the high bidder and you will get an outbid notice. You will not know what he has set as a high bid, all is will tell you is that he had bid higher than you.
If you hold the high bid with your $200.00 bid, as I said it will show the $155.00 amount until someone bids against you. If someone bids $160.00, the bid will show as $162.00 with you as the high bidder. If someone bids $170.00, it will show $172.00 with you as the high bidder. If the auction end with you as the winner, say at that price, you will pay that amount, in addition to the sellers specified amount for shipping and handling and insurance. You should check what those amounts are going to be before you bid, and take that into account when deciding how much to bid.
Your max bid of $200.00 is not shown to the seller, nor do you have to pay that unless that amount is reached. On the other hand, if the bid tops out at your $200.00 you will have more to cover the shipping, handling and insurance. Hope that helps.
