Auction system
Auctioning in the market section is very similar to selling items but with a deadline. Why not Make it automatic? For example you place a bid and it automatically shows what the highest bid id and bid by. When the deadline reaches the system automatically sends items to the bidder.

Sounds good, perhaps there could be a 'price offer' link if the bid ends with no buyers or if it doesn't meet your reserve? Works well on eBay.

Maybe add a min bid the auction. So lowballers cant offer.

i support this
this will make auctions more realistic and decrease auction scams
and if there are no bids before the deadline then auction ends
sending should be automatic to highest bidder without any interruption by the host

But what if someone bids and then spends the money, auction system would glitch and stop working

The auction system would take their money when they bid, and if someone out-bids them, they'll get their money back. If they win the auction, the system will keep the money and the winner will receive the item.

Just like safe trading the money will be kept until the buyer cancels.

So it'd work like the ebay system? Sounds good, and this could perhaps be implemented while buying art as well.

Great idea, supported. Potentially add a function similar to Ebay's buy it now system, for autobuys.

supported too.
this would make auctions simpler, since no op could wait longer or say "i got a higher offer via pm"

but i would add a button that let you make your bid anonymous, if You don't want to let anyone see that You are bidding
