Thread: 10 minute auctions?

  1. #1

    Default 10 minute auctions?

    How is there an auction in the "new auctions" category on the homepage that ends in just over 9 minutes?

    No, never got the ID. It definately said 9 mins though, was even coloured red as they do.... I'm sure I've seen it before but never really thought anything of it.

    if you post an auction, and then update/delete it and change the auction length to a fraction, it accepts it. also seems to accept it if you put stupidly big number http://(<a href="http://boxer.ebid.c...o=auction</a>)

    so you could list an item, update it to last for 0.005 days or whatever, autorepost it 10 times, and would be in the new section for a longer time
    (in theory)
