Enumeration Values
| Value | Description |
| Absentee | This value is returned in the GetAllBidders call if an absentee bid was made, which means that eBay made a bid on the auction listing on behalf of the buyer, who has set a maximum bid threshold. This value is not applicable for the PlaceOffer call, as the buyer would use the Bid value instead, as well as setting a Offer.MaxBid value that would specify the maxium amount that the buyer is willing to bid in an attempt to win the auction. |
| Accept | This value is used in a PlaceOffer call if the buyer is accepting a counter offer proposed by the seller. The GetAllBidders call will return this value as well if the buyer accepted a counter offer. |
| AutoCancel | This value indicates that a buyer's Best Offer or a seller's or buyer's counter offer was automatically cancelled. This value cannot be used with the PlaceOffer call. |

If this value is used, the prospective buyer must also include the Offer.MaxBid field in the PlaceOffer call and specify the maximum amount that they are willing to bid in an attempt to win the auction. eBay will automatically rebid on behalf of the buyer each time the buyer is outbid up until the time when their Offer.MaxBid value threshold is met. The GetAllBidders call will return this value as well if the buyer has set up automatic bidding using a maximum bid threshold. |
