Bleh. In any real auction, the auctioneer would

This is just stupid. E-bay's auction terms are plainly stated up
front -- when its over, its over.
Its as real an auction as any other auction. If you need the auction
extended because you were outbid then you didn't bid your maximum and
whether you're sniping or not wouldn't make a difference.
