Crazy ebay timing

It is a stupid setup anyway. They should keep extending the auctions by say 15 seconds as long as they are getting bids. That way the high bidder actually gets it and not the guy that snipes it. Other auctions do it that way. Would generate more money for everyone. </div></div>

I agree that would allow more bids, like in a live auction where the hammer doesn't come down until there are no more bids being made. In this case, I think I got screwed because I watched the seconds count down to the end (which I THOUGHT was the end) but it somehow took another bid after the clock had run out. I've never before seen an auction end AFTER the posted ending time. I'm not going to bother complaining to ebay because I know how far that will get me..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
