5. An “AUTO LISTING TIME EXTENSION” will offer the opportunity for last bidding.
Bidding within the last Five (5) minutes before closing will automatically extend the auction with another Two (2) minutes and will be extended again until final bid (Highest Offer) has excepted.

THE PURPOSE OF THE “AUTO LISTING TIME EXTENSION”
When a new bid is made for any given pigeon within the last 5 minutes of an auction closing time, the auctioning closing time of that pigeon will be extended by another 2 minutes.

For example:
The auction was set to end at 20:00. A bid is made for a certain pigeon at 19:57.
The auctioning of that pigeon is automatically extended, the auction for all other pigeons that did not receive a bid in the last 5 minutes will still end at 20:00.
The Seller selects this option when creating their listing, so if this option is selected, it will be indicated on the item showing the time extended.
Basically, the auction will have a scheduled close time – for example 20:00. If there are no bids in the last 5 minutes before 20:00, the auction will close as normal known as .“bid closing”. 
EXAMPLE.
If, however someone places a bid at 19:59, the auction is automatically extended by 2 minutes. If there are no further bids, then the auction closes at 20:02
If one or more bidders bids at 20:01 in the extended time, then the auction automatically extends again with 2 minutes. Any bidder that bid in the extended time will keep on extending the time with the purpose to have a fair chance to buy the pigeon at his best price submitted,if no bidding continues and the extended time ends, this will be the “bid closing”. This simulates the “Going, going … gone” nature of traditional live auctions.
Every time a bidder submitted a bid – an e-mail is send to the bidder to confirm his bid – if, the bidder is “outbid” not only will the new amount show on the auction screen – but an e-mail will be sent immediately to notify him that there are a new excepted bid on the pigeon.
Because of possible slow internet speed country wide, potential different Internet and E-mail settings, interested buyers need to refresh the page frequently to check if other bids have been placed.

5. From time to time a mistake will be made. If that occurs, please email us. Bids placed in the last three (3) hours of the auction will not be canceled or deleted.

Good luck and enjoy!
