I don't understand what is so difficult about grasping this concept. I end all my auctions at the same time because I have a JOB other than ebay and don't particularly want to spend every other waking moment running auctions.
Hope that helps.

The problem is you want to win something but can't afford to win everything. Putting in your max bids and crossing your fingers leaves you with a chance of getting shut out or being overdrawn at the bank. I agree that ending all auctions at the same time instead of just a minute or two (or more) apart leaves money on the table.
