    Yahoo Japan Auction Question..
    So, I've recently had 2 auctions have opposing bids placed on them with less than 5 mins remaining, however when I have gone to respond to that bid, the auction has ended despite my previous refresh of the auction showing 10 minutes remaining.

    Even more annoying is that both auctions have had the same winning bidder.

    Anyone else had this happen? Is this the same as "ending an auction early" on eBay because of some special secret deal between an interested party and the seller?

    BOO, fucking sucks.

    Exhibit B: http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u14857445

    /Whinge over.

    Looks like you won one of those auctions. It was flipped from one to the other. Either your fe9rmi or phoney_bone2000.

    In my excitement I posted the wrong auction ( the one I won ).

    I'm thinking perhaps the seller simply chooses not to deal with the last minute snipe/time extension scenario and simply ends the auction if it extends.

    Unless there's an option when listing on YJA to have a definite listing end time with no possibility of extension?
