     This auction uses bidding extension, which extends the auction closing time on an item by 5 minutes each time a new bid is placed during the last 5 minutes for that item.

The item’s closing time will continue to extend in 5 minute increments as long as there is continued bidding. The item will automatically close when there is a 5 minute extension period with no new bids or after 60 minutes past the original close time.
