I've looked at a few keywords.. and certain ones I am paying exactly what I bid and not 1p + bid below me.

Whats going on?

Probably WordMatch.
It's charging your highest bid when it puts you with other competition.

Before all the changes I suggested that not showing us exactly what the WordMatch terms were is a form of fraud. the new system has not changed this or my opinion. If they want to charge us for clicks they should have the responsibility to show us what the terms are.

If you are autobidding, then it's ad below you price plus $0.01. If you have a set bid, then you pay the same price no matter what the competition does. Goto your manage listings page which should have a column of what type of bid each one is.

In the OV help section, there is also a decent tutorial about how to bid and what the different types are. If you are new to Overture, I'd suggest looking through that info.
