An item might be changed and can no longer use Maximum Bidding, for example, changing an Online type item to a Silent type item.
Identify Maximum Bids
If an item has an active Maximum Bid, it will show on its Activity tab. A Maximum Bid will have a starred "auto" icon (a small blue, spiked circle with an A).

INFORMATION
Only the current winning bid can have a Maximum Bid attached to it.
A Confirmation pop-up window will appear, click Continue to proceed.
WARNING
There is no notification of this change sent to the bidder. It is often best to let them know the Maximum Bid was removed if they did not request it themselves.
