Watching an auction for a car and went on for an extra 32mins, they should lower it to 30sec

Good for the seller bad for the buyer but yes should be a time limit.

As long as people are bidding on it, why not let it go.

Bidders were waiting until the last 10sec to bid, atleast at 30sec it wouldnt take so long

from a buyers POV great, from a sellers nah, imagine those on dial up! (yes there are some still lurking) I remember the days when I would place a bid in the last 30 seconds only to be told the current bid is higher,

or if you're bidding on your phone. on basic non-smart phones it's not so easy to navigate through the bidding pages quickly.

I just don't know why people wait to the last few seconds to bid when they know it's getting extended to 2 more minutes anyway.

Decide how much you are willing to pay and place an autobid.
Simple.

Trademe extend is better than Ebay, where if you don't put in an outlandishly high bid beforehand you'll mostly be beaten in a last-minute bidding battle by those overseas bidding at the last second who are on ultra high-speed broadband, as most of them are compared with NZ.

a guy i know has a programme that places bids, calls it 'sniper' or something. I get sick of watching something on ebay then watch it go nuts in the last 5 seconds with no hope of counterbid
