Gonna be blunt. It pisses me off that you get stuck in a bidding war as an auction expires, and you lose 95% of the time. Could we PLEASE fix this?

well one option would be to alow sellers to add a buy now Price
action starts at say 10B - but if you are willing to pay 100B the action ends, and you get the item

seen that Work well in other games

Fine as is.
Bidding should favor the person selling so they can get the highest price.
Should not favor the buyers so they can buy at lowest price.

If you are out bid then you should have bid more.
Placing a low bid is a risk you take for the chance at buying low.

This has nothing to do with price, it has to do with the fact that people will outbid you right at the last second and there is nothing you can do about it - no matter the price, it seems.

It should be changed like a real auction to where if you bid at the last moment then its extended by one minute and so on.

Yes, something like this. This way, sellers will get the highest price possible, and buyers won't be left out because they couldn't click a button fast enough.

This would be the ideal solution, plus it might mean people actually use it. I can't count how many times I've needed something only to find that the auction(s) won't end for 6 hours and that's only if I'm lucky and there aren't other people who need it as well.

BIN price and an additional brief extension after last-second bids would be great improvements to the GTC.

Oh, it's still obviously being used. Anything desirable sold at a low enough price will be sniped at the last second.

Don't really have a problem with sniping being allowed, nor an opinion on a BIN price, but for the love of the Gods, please, please, please change the max CTP per sale to 10k and the max EM per sale to 1000k. Image

Annabell I think it would be even easyer if they just make a single change to say you can put up to 1,000,000 items of any kind up for auction, just raise the limits once will do :)

I don't mind the sniping, but it would be nice if the time remaining was actually shown (like the Galactic Server Time) but in reverse. That way you know exactly when there are a few second left so you can make your bid.
