You can't extend auction times right?

Hey! I bid on a golden set 1 min before the end time. The end time is supposed to be at 5 PM Central today! She edited the post to end at 10 PM. On pg.2, she even added time. The rules say, AuctionsOur auction guidelines apply to auctions of items and villagers in Animal Crossing, as well as auctions in TBT Marketplace. They are designed to keep auctions fair for both buyers and sellers, yet also give auctioneers freedom to create their own rules.


Rules for an auction must be clearly set and followed by both the bidder and auctioneer. As an auctioneer, if you wish to reserve special rights, please specify your reason for doing so in your original post before bidding begins. Otherwise, the auction should follow the default rules listed below.


Bidders are subject to accept all rules posted by the auctioneer. If a bidder disagrees with special rights reserved by the auctioneer, he or she should not participate.
Auctioneers may only accept bids that are posted in the auction thread. No PM or VM bids may be accepted.
Auctions posted on The Bell Tree should not also be made on another site. Not only does this waste the bidders' time, they should not be required to check another site for bidding purposes.
Increasing or decreasing auction time is not allowed by default. It is considered a special right and must be reserved in the auctioneer's original post before bidding begins.
The last person to bid on an auction within the scope of its rules and time limits is the winner. Auctioneers cannot choose another winner even if someone else makes a better offer after it ends.
Auctioneers are expected to see their auctions through to the end. Unless valid reasoning is provided, an auction cannot be canceled. Otherwise, the auction winner may give the host negative feedback for failing to complete the sale.
Winners are obligated to complete the purchase after they are determined to be the winner. If he or she backs out of the transaction, the auctioneer may leave negative feedback.

You can't extend time before someone bids.

I believe the only time this is allowed is if the OP clearly states that the auction rules are subject to change. You may want to PM a staff member and provide a link to the auction in question.

Correct on that one ^ They're only allowed to change the time if it's clearly stated in their first post that the rules (which would include the times) are "subject to change"

I'd leave a negative feedback if you truly believe this. Mods have access to older versions of posts, so if this is a false claim, or if there's retaliation, the rating can be removed.

Also, I'd remove the link from public view. Nobody likes getting on TBT to find themselves the victim of naming and shaming. JS.

You would have been better to have reported it instead of making a huge deal about it.

You don't need to make a thread for every problem you have, it just causes a huge commotion because too many people get involved. Next time you think something is against the rules report whatever it is and don't try to take matters into your own hands, like you did.
