Comment Comment by BeetleB I never understood why eBay set things up to enable sniping.Many years ago, there was an auction site called uBid. They had the sane rule: Bidding is open as long as there have been bids in the past 5 minutes.So the end date could be January 24th, 3pm, but if someone bids at 2:58pm, the deadline is extended to 3:05pm. And it keeps going.You know, like how auctions in the real world work. parent BeetleB 9 months ago
