A large chuck or even majority of the auction sites seem to use the SimpleAuctionSite template for their auctions. I would suspect that is not an option with the SimpleAuctionSite template since none seem to include it. And I would also assume that modifying the SimpleauctionSite templates would be a little more involved than if you had your own auction site developed around your own custom website design. It might even be against the user agreement to modify the SimpleAuctionSite template in such a fashion.

Perhaps email suggestions to SimpleAuctionSite to include this option with their template/package/etc would prove more beneficial than asking the auction sites themselves.
Mark, you are pretty close to being 100% correct in your comment. The only thing difference is that everything we do on the back end is configurable and to make this a configuration setting would be doable (semi-complex but doable). One of the more time intensive things involved with this is styling the web pages with the new text.

We have not had any of our customers ask us to add this to their web site and if we did we would scope it out it and add it. We have done some similar things with our foreign customers (money conversions etc...) so as our CTO links to say, anything is possible with software, it is a matter of time and money"
