That may be true. But the column header on top of the "Closed" column you reference says "Batch Bids". If the column header was "Auction Status" or "Lots Status" then it would be clearer. Also, when a lot says its "Closed", if you go to the lot itself, the lot will still say "In Extended Bidding" and provide a box for you to enter a next bid. If you add a bid it will tell you that you must bid in the Live Auction and will ask if you want to go to their Live Auction site.

All very confusing. Why not just say "Lot Closed" on the Lot page after bidding has been completed and not provide a box to enter an additional bid? That's what ever other auction house on the planet does.
