ComingThere is nothing like bidding at the very last 5 seconds like we see on ebay auction systems. With Yahoo Japan Auction system, if you place your bid 5 minutes before the bid is over, it would be automatically extended for another 5 minutes. So, ideally its best to please your bids about 6 minutes before the bid is over. If there is a not a single bid placed on an item, and if you place your bid bid at the last few moment, the time is usually not extended. If you would like us to place your bid for you with our snipe bidding system that will place the bid for you 10 minutes before the bid is over, we charge a $4 service fee for this. This way, you wouldnt have to get up at strange times of the night to place your bids at the last moments.
