Oh, its back in operation, I thought it had stopped.

A new finding...when we bid during last minute, I find that if I failed 1 time (other's bid over me), then it delays 1 more minute. If I failed twice, it becomes delayed by 2 minutes. I remember that the previous version would remain 1 minute.

On both the old and the new system, if the auction closes without reaching the reserve, the seller has an option to offer it to the high bidder at their bid. I.e., if the reserve was $1000 and you had bid $950, the seller might decide that that is good enough and offer it to you at $950.

I think what you're saying is that if the reserve is $1000 and it closes at $950 then you should have a second chance to pay the $1000? While we could do it that way, I think the existing way makes more sense. While the auction is open it says whether or not the reserve has been met, so you would know you hadn't hit the reserve as soon as you placed the $950. If you are willing to pay more you should increase your bid then and win it the old fashioned way.

I did not know they had the option to offer at the highest bid. That make sense. Thanks.

Again, with the second bid, the time left increases to 3-4 minutes when people exceed my price (not 1 minute as before). It's not much fun for the bidding excitement  because as a user, l like to compete with others at the last minute.

I miss having a back button. When looking at an auction the old UI had a back button which would take you back to where you were within your search parameters. Now I have to hit back (on mobile Firefox browser) and sometimes it clears the search parameters and I have to start all over again.

Will have a look at this.

Has there been any change to the rules for boxes to be listed? Specifically regarding age issues. I may not have received the email.

There hasn't been any change to the rules, but the system is erroneously allowing you to submit anything for review. We'll get that fixed, but in the meantime the admin should reject new regular production stuff if you try and submit it.

On the old system if someone bid within the last minute, it would reset the counter to one minute, i.e., if there are 30 seconds left and someone bids then it resets it to 1 minute.

In the new system, it adds a minute, i.e., if there are 30 seconds left and someone bids then there will be 1:30 left. If you bid 800 but someone else has a max bid of 1000, then the the auto bidder will bid 805, which also counts as a bid, so each bid will add a minute and there will be 2:30 left.

It's not something we set out to do, just the default behaviour of the new software. I've put it on our list of things to consider.

Thanks Alex, because from the user side, I personally enjoy competing, battling and "killing” others in last minutes (no matter if it's 10-59 seconds), so please consider only increasing to 60 seconds only, LOL!

Aha! I'll finally be able to put my rare strawberry Cohiba blunts up for auction! Profit incoming! 😁

More seriously, what is the definition of 'new' and the age requirement for boxes?
