Maybe eBay would be even more successful if they allowed it.
[extending auction times]

Maybe, maybe not. Having a set time limit does provide
some real advantage to the bidders, which makes folks
feel better about using the service, which increases the
buyer pool, which is *overall* good for the sellers.

Having a definite time limit is a trade off in this regard.

It *looks* like it's an absolute benefit to the buyers,
but in practice it may not be.
