I took Bobby to mean that if an auction, (1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 day) includes a BIN and someone does the BIN and thus closes the auction early, this information is included in VCP. EBay store listings are not included, (they can continue to relist so there is no end date). This is my take, but I also admit that I do not know what the chinese style format is.
VCP has also stopped reporting some of the auction houses information. If they do not take corrective action, it will be reduced to an eBay 7-10 auction reporting.
Actually a normal eBay auction is not a normal auction. There is not an opportunity for someone who is out bid at the close to raise their bid. With the sniping, it is more like a sealed bid auction. One of the points to consider is that not all eBay user know that sniping services even exist.
