Dale, Yes, I am mainly a seller, so I would like the bid extension period. As it is I just start my auctions at a high price. No more starting at $1. Of course EBay knows this and keeps sniping as the sellers have to list high at start and that = higher initial listing fees. Best way is to start at $1 and have 2 shills shill it to the price you want it to start at. That way you save on listing fees. Trouble with shills is that if they are seen only on your site they soon get outed, so you have to exercise the shills with bids and wins on other places. Time for a class action suit against sniping. Bill
