I think it's fine. Most people put their highest bid in at the end, anyway, so it's more like eBay on Fast Forward. It basically turns into a highest bid wins game in the last ten seconds and hell, if an auction started at .99 cents, you're probably only getting the .99 cents if that's what it ends at. Nobody wanted it, you just have to live with that. It makes no difference if people bid on it over a few days with their itchy fingers or if everyone bids in a bid orgy at the last 5 seconds. USUALLY, an item ends at the HIGHEST amount that it would have. For example, if I snipe, I don't snipe .99 cents on an action figure, I snipe the highest amount I'm willing to pay for it and if someone is only willing to pay 99 cents against me, then I'm sorry, but you should've listed your auction higher because I was willing to pay it. Once in a while, things go wrong, someone intends to bid 30 bucks against you but their internet screws up in the last few seconds of the auction and they don't have time to recover and you get the item for 99 cents or whatever it started at. In any event, it's not wrong. You list an item for the lowest amount you're willing to sell it for just as people will bid the highest amount they're willing to buy it for. Whether you're the bidder or the seller, you should know what you're getting yourself into when you hit Submit. It not the bidder's fault that as a seller, you chose to sell an item with a starting bid of 1 penny to save on listing costs. Know the risks.
