e-Bay Shill Bidding...???

I do not sell stuff, therefore, my sentiments do not lie with the seller's point of view.
Auction is the "buyer's market".
7 days, 10 days, or 12 days is plenty of time for an item to be up for bid. Extending this time is only for the benefit of the merchant.
If I REALLY want an item, my maximum bid is totally outrageous. Why should the bid time be extended to allow another to slightly raise his "reasonable" ceiling? He is not going to win the bid, but only give the seller more of my money.
