I heard Ebay was actually going to go to this as a feature that sellers
optionally employ on a sale by sale basis to defeat snipers.

I haven't bid on GL auctions recently, but the sliding end time was part

I'm surprised that Ebay hasn't gone this route also. It more simulates
an actual auction - and helps propel Auction fever.
