Thus, if an item is set to close at 6.:00 pm, and a bidder places a bid on the item at 6:02 pm, the item’s closing time will be extended to 6:04 pm. If another bid is placed at 6:05 pm, the item’s closing time will be extended to 6:07 pm, and so on.

If you have been out-bid you will be notified by email or phone notification (app users) ONLY UNTIL the last 2 minutes of the item scheduled closing time.
