Any long term Ebayer is going to wait to bid as late as possible. That's the way it works. I usually bid in the last 30 seconds.

But I agree it is an Ebay flaw. If there is a bid in the last 2 minutes, the auction should be extended 5 minutes. It's in Ebay's favor because they get a percentage, especially through PayPal. It's in the seller's favor because they get more money. It's in the bidder's favor because they get a chance to win what they want if they are outbid in the last second.
