They keep pushing the closing times out (even if no additional bids are being placed). WTH?

[jayshum]

Now everything is closing at 12:47:56.

I’m throwing the BS flag on that. I was the high bidder on two when the first “revised” clock would have shit down. Now everything resets?

Imagine if you went to bed at 12:30 confident you had won a lot you really wanted because the auction website said it was closed and you were the winner. But then you're not. That's gotta suck.

[paul]

I noticed that two lots that I was bidding (losing) on were down to 2 minutes each. Now they're back up to 8 minutes. Very strange.

[jayshum]

Now on the My Bids page, it says closing time is 12:56:00 but some lots say Sold and others say Open even though it is before that time.

Yep. Good ole fashioned clusterf***.

[perezfan]

They just pushed the times out again... despite no additional bids being made. Wasn't the auction supposed to close "lot by let" at this stage???

Seriously, WTF?!? End the lots that aren't being bid on!

Wow! They have messed this up so badly. There are items that should have been won 3 times over now. They can't seem to close off the items with zero activity.

This will not end well for them.... especially for all the lots that should've closed, but received bids waaaaaay beyond the 10 minute window.

Yeah the lot I am winning (hard to believe) keeps resetting.

I take it from their email that when they said the down time would be added they meant the total time that no one could get on would be added, and because that was more than ten minutes, they are doing it in some sort of blocks.

Unfortunately, they didn't send out another email when the site was back up explaining exactly what would happen.

[jayshum]

Closing times pushed out again to 12:55:00.

[babraham]

Wow this is a mess.
Keep thinking I won a couple lots then it just keeps getting extended...the entire auction! It definitely should be lot by lot by now, no?

[wondo]

One of my lots is marked SOLD. The other has had additional time added.

[jayshum]

Here's what I am seeing at 12:51.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Eventually someone is going to get drunk enough to outbid me if this keeps up.

[sb1]

Same here. I just bid on a lot, then got outbid and went to rebid and it's closed., others are still open and extended...

[YazFenway08]

One of mine marked “sold”.

Then refreshed and now open again. I understand acts of God, etc….but not sure how they unwind this

[Aaron Seefeldt]

it's all part of the hack. Nothing is working right.

Now the SOLD lot is open and I’ve been outbid. Good night all.

[nolemmings]

Now mine froze on a lot that was closing in two minutes. When I got back on it to bid it said had closed. Beautiful.

[nolemmings]

And now back open again, with about 8 more minutes.

EDIT: This is a dumpster fire.
