I thought the end time was supposed to extend 5 minutes every time someone bid within the last few minutes? I was just in a furious bidwar where it was extending about 30 seconds per bid, it was very frustrating.

I actuallly like the 30 second extension....gives you additional time but not so it extends for another 20-30 minutes....it gets people to where they are willing to go a lot sooner....
I suggest keeping it where it is.....

Well that's up for debate, I think 2-3 minutes is more ideal, but the point is that the rule say it's 5 minutes, and it's not. Earlier today I lost a player because I thought I had a few minutes before I had to bid again.

Hmmm, well the date on the player page was only moving up 30 seconds. So that's based on the internal clock, which is inaccurate? Even so, it seems like there has to be a way to get the player's end time to sync with the main clock. If not, you guys are going to have a lot of unhappy bidders.

Ok, but what if the guy ends at 2:19 and I bid at 2:18, it should move to 2:23, and it doesn't.

nick is right..it doesn't add 5 minutes to the deadline.
