if you make a max bid does that mean you have to pay that for the item or can you just bid a bit above the oppostion each time?

Its called a proxy bid, its the amount you're prepared to bid up to. The price increases by the increment (which varies based on the current price - higher price, larger increment) up to your proxy. You don't have to pay the highest price you enter, just the amount inside of that that beats other bidders.

Software to snipe is not rare, and they're only alright if no-one betters your best bid by proxy in the last seconds.
