How exactly do dynamic endings work?

Bids placed in the last 15 minutes before bidding ends will extend the end time.

• The end time is set to 15 minutes after the bid is placed. This (in theory) gives you enough time to check your email, see that you've been outbid, and up your bid
• Certain actions will not extend the end time:
  • Increasing your proxy bid
  • Using buy now (because bidding ends immediately, duh!)
  • Placing a bid on a lot that no one else has bid on
• Lots that are part of an auction have a hard cutoff time of 1 hour after the auction ends - the end time won't be extended past this time!
