I support this timer or automation idea because.
If u set end date 2 days or 36 hrs after the first bid. On the second day u can't see how many hrs are left because it says post is 1 day old...and if it's 36 hrs after bid u can bid on 37'th hour and etc etc... idk if i made it clear but maybe u know what i'm talking about.
Automated timer option on forums
or
Something similar to safetrade where:
Seller puts items in auction safetrade with some settings ( like min bis, min raise, end date)
Buyer updates safetrade auction with ammount he offers.
Buyer 2 updates safetrade auction with a higher ammount. Buyer 1 gets notification and get's money back automated from that safetrade. And so on.
After the deadline the transaction is completed automated.
Seller cannot close auction until deadline if he has no offers in 24h let's say.
I've seen so many problems with auctions, people selling stuff they have in auction, closing threads, changing theyr mind.

The issue of random people bumping dead threads in the Market is very uncommon, speaking from past Market moderation experience.
I think he means the thread gets closed not deleted. So u don;t get that necro-bumps from 2011
