732amran Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 4:33 pm hmmm iv noticed and its kinda making me wonder -- has anybody noticed when the original time for a bidding that ends -- gets an extra 5 or so minutes? And when this happens suddenly bidding becomes rampant. Is any body paying attention to this as I've never seen this before. Or ebay has a extra time option? Fill me in about your thoughts about this Edited by 732amran 07/06/2016 4:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 5:39 pm There are many last-minute bid companies that will bid for you electronically as the clock ticks down (for a fee, of course}. Sometimes these competing bids get stacked at the end and have to be worked off against each other sequentially until the winner is determined, which may appear to lengthen the auction. This may help explain your question. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 6:19 pm There are auction companies which extend the auction closing after each bid by a small amount of time.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 7:32 pm Not sure I've noticed a 5 min increase, but I have noticed that if the time on my computer is off, the auction will end either faster or slower than I expected it to. So make sure the time on your computer is accurate. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 8:03 pm there is no way extra time is added to any auction. Report this Post to the Staff

I only bid on two items-so.I thought when timer ends --then bidding STOPS.Its that simple Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 10:04 am if you have the auction on your screen the clock actually stops counting down at a few minutes.it still counts down but if you are bidding you can't see how much time is left, I have seen this many times, but if you have the auction open in 2 windows, you can see that it still counts down accurately, but in the window you are bidding in it will freeze, I think it is too encourage people to keep bidding, because they don't know how much time is actually left.
