We have updated the public page countdown timers to help resolve some reported issues where bidders would think they were winning an item but then the item would 'end' and they were outbid.
​
The solution we deployed overnight changes the countdown timer font weight to bold when there are 60 seconds remaining on the timer. This update is then pushed out to all users/bidders viewing the public pages and forces their web browser to fetch the most up to date information from our servers which includes the current bid & next bid amounts.
​
We've also updated the 'auto-extend' box to have a red background color as seen in the screenshot below which will help in the same scenario when an item is in extended bidding.

Reserve Prices - we had 2 recent system updates regarding reserve prices and unfortunately those updates caused an issue where the Reserve Price was not working as expected in a certain scenario. For example, if the admin set a reserve price of $100 on an item, and the bidding met $100 exactly, that item was not being invoiced. This issue has now been fixed with this overnight update.

Future updates / news. We are planning to add new Image Editing tools to the mobile App in the next system update in December. This will add tools for rotation, cropping, contrast, brightness, and more.
