Flippa Extended Auction Question PLEASE HELP

I have a flippa auction going on right now that is just a little under the reserve price. This is my first listing that didn't pass the reserve price before the 4 hour mark.

Anyway, my question is: It seems I keep getting one bidder in the last hour of the auction, and then the auction is extended another four hours. But now my auction will end at 2 in the morning. Will I have to be awake to accept pending bids before the auction ends? Or will the auction start back up again when I accept the bids in the morning?

    Hi Kbaeb7.
    You are able to accept bids after your auction has ended, its just that no further bids can be placed. This way you don't miss out on any buyers. As such, go get some sleep!

    When you get a chance, we'd love to get your views on what you think about the extension. We currently have a poll running to get user feedback at - http://flippa.com/blog/poll-should-w...ion-extension/

      I bought 2 sites on Flippa yesterday. It happened a little different than you described though. The one site was being sold from the other side of the world and the auction kept getting extended for 4 hours and the owner did not accept any bids (obviously they were asleep). Once they got up in the morning they accepted multiple bids and it reset the auction to 4 hours once again. It took all day to finally purchase the site. It was a pain in the butt and I was locked to my computer for hours.

      I do like Flippa ita awesome - that was just a pain. Everything else is cool
