When the Online Auction closes, each item/lot closes in 2-minute increments after closing time. Example: 30 items, with each item closing every 2 minutes, the auction would close in 1 hr
NOTE: If a bid is placed within five minutes of an items close, the bidding period is automatically extended to at least five minutes. This will continue until there is a five-minute period where no bids are placed. This makes sure that all bids are captured, and no one can “snipe” an item at the last minute.
