We extend the auction time by 5 minutes any time someone has been outbid during the last 5 minutes of an auction.
The auction will continue to be extended by 5-minute increments until 5 minutes have passed without any bidding activity. Extending the time ensures transparency and a fair bidding opportunity to all.
If you were the one outbid within the last 5 minutes of an auction event, we send you an email letting you know the auction is now extended for an additional 5 minutes, so you have time to place another bid if you want to. We highly recommend you keep your phone nearby and/or track your email alerts and your listings nearing their bidding time limits.
