Yeah... its much harder to withdraw a bid; "Sorry, saw a better car advertised somewhere else."

No, the one that really gets my goat is when your selling something and you get the rush of bids 30 seconds from the end. In a real auction the auctioneer would have carried on until no-one would bid anymore.

Wanderer:
Withdraw a bid and you'll get caned for it unless the seller realises you're genuine.
But sellers withdraw vehicles every day. Items other than vehicles now have the "I have this advertised elsewhere" line.

Personally I bid what I consider my top bid with seconds to go. If I win I was the highest bidder. If not I go elsewhere but bidding wars don't work in the buyers favour neither does gotta have it bidding when you exceed what you were goign to pay.

Didn't Yahoo used to keep auctions running for x minutes after the last bid in case other bids came in?

Yes, If a bid was placed in the last few mins it would add a couple of mins
on to the auction time.... Very anoying..
