Not first time I see how the time for lot expires almost immediately, as I received oubid. This happens often when there a battle for really rare items. I'm not sure, this is some trick or cheating? (Items was without "Buy now" option) How I can leave opponents without time for bid?!
WTF with auction house?!

the system
The system gives vague (and adjustable?) ending times, specifically to prevent sniping like this. But Apoclera feels that s/he has been sniped. So s/he wants to know how it was done. Almost certainly it was done through inattentiveness on Apoclera's part. But it's possible that Apoclera has a point, so we might as well discuss it.

System
My question is how it happened?
The system gives you a few minutes for your bit when you were outbid. I was near the house when I was outbid & I spent a few seconds to open ah page. And what I see "Ended" !!! I very often to participate in bid-wars, but I see this 2nd time in my life. ROLF, I also want to buy new aura for ~5ke or something like this))))))

not "a few minutes"
I'm not an expert on the Auction House, but I don't think that it's "a few minutes". The grace period gets pretty short.

@Bopp
If to be precise -> 2-5 mins, but not a few seconds...

You know... and a lot of people would hate this.. but every time you bid on something that's very short it bumps it back a few minutes... what if instead of a few minutes it bumped it back a good 4 hours?

The info is up on the wiki. Look it up for the period durations
Every new bid resets the the very short duration to 5 minutes. Also remember that someone can still buyout the item.
Sorry what's your question?
