I certainly would not call it unfair, just a differing perspective. The set end times of eBay auctions are logically better for buyers as sniping keeps prices from running up. However, if you are a consigner or auction house, extended time does tend to bring in a larger price. You give continued opportunity for underbidders to keep inching the price higher. It's all logical.
I remember the old days of Ebay and traditional auction bidders not understanding the premise of sniping. I would come in at the end and grab it, which then with the open ID's would bring me at least a couple expletive laden private messages from the bidder I sniped per week. It really took a ton of people till the early 00's to figure out how that worked.
