I personally think the formats of the auction is the biggest downside for using it for me, both buying and selling.
Item X ending in 7 days at 10pm CST
I have enough trouble tracking ebay and 27 auction houses and they send regular reminders/alerts.
I have noticed in other groups that the 24hr from last bid style auction seems to garner more interest and bids.
You list the item, start price, bid Increments and the bidding continues indefinitely until 24hrs have gone by without any bids.
Most auctions last fewer than 2 days and get more action from what I have seen. Can't get sniped so the seller doesn't have to worry about figuring out which bids counted or were 10 second late etc, and the buyers don't have to bid against themselves worried about getting sniped.
Also eliminates the clutter of bunches of running auctions with little or no interest from the top of the page for days.
Bumps with 12hrs, 4hrs and 1hr remaining (when it gets to that point) seem reasonable to me as well but others may think that is excessive.
