Hi, I figured I should chime in. Per the rules in the auction post, "Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments between additional bids." There were four additional bids within the last five minutes, [two in the 2:57 minute, one in the 2:58 minute, and one in the 2:59 minute (mountain daylight time)], so by my math that extends the auction by four minutes, plus K-Paxian's bid extended it one more minute, so it really ended at 3:05. Sorry if that confused anyone.
You should make it more clear..... the OP says nothing about multiple bids in the last 5 minutes. Your example is for 1 minute extensions with only 1 extra bid per extension.
Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments between additional bids.
Your problem is the bold red word highlighted above.
To make life easier on all involved.... I'd write it like this to avoid further confusion:
"Should bids come in within 5 minutes of the end of the auction, the auction will be extended by 1 minute increments
for each and every additional bid in the last 5 minutes. After the overtime period(the number of bids in the last 5 minutes) the auction will continue until there has not been a bid for 1 minute."
Then you need to give examples of both multiple bids in the last 5 minutes as well as what you have for just 1 bid in the last 5 minutes.
Not sure why you just didn't follow the standard auction format used for the collectibles section. When users try to do things different, it generally causes a sh**show.
Good luck with your sales, just hoping for a bit more clarity, especially if you are go to do things different.
