We can see that people start auction but dont post auction end time.. We should have a auction format (as on sitepoint) which should include Auction start bid min increment BIN Auction end time payment methods. Other details.. It seems people start auction withour end time and then post end date/time according to response. I think we should make it compulsory or give them an infarction or warning.
To me, it seems better to simply not bid on those auctions. Have you read Tips for a Successful Web Site Auction?
Yeah.. Infractions will be too Rude, but yea after that format people should tell us everytime 2 Hours left 2 minutes left blah blah blah......
Simply just ask when the auction time ends.. I'm sure they lose bids because they don't place an auction time... False auctions should recieve infractions..
To reference SP again, yes they have auction timers and whatnot but they also have reserve prices which are easily editable. Also, if an auction ends and nobody bids, you can just restart the auction again. Auction system would be great IMO.
Sometimes they are needed cause in less than 5 hrs ur thread can disappear to the 3rd or the 5th page . By the time auction ends could be on like 20th page . So keep auction time minimum, i was thinking going ebay for auctions and posting its link or something.
Its good but infractios arent good. Sya 2 auctions, then 1 point of infraction expiring in 1 month...
i think there should be an automatic system, ofcourse free! but then we can do this manually, like 5 hours left, got an infraction, 2 hours left, another infraction for bumping, [private] and so on! perhaps it is better to mention in the first post, about the auction running time, atleast i have always tried to maintain this!
