I was wondering how precise the 14 Days (or other periods) are in terms of hh:mm … I am the highest bidder , the auction was created on 2024-03-11 7:45am , but now at 7:54 on 2024-03-25 the auction still accepts bids?!

IIRC, additional bids near the end of the auction time extend it slightly.

The end time is blurred and not shown intentionally to avoid people bid at last tick. I don’t know if the max spread is even known, could be the whole day.

thanks, in the meantime I found out the auction extends a few minutes after each bid, turned out to be around 15min.
