Can you increase the timing of the dimming on your phone?

Firstly I have been buying through the saleroom and easylive for many years. It is a relatively safe experience for leaving bids etc but it is possible to click in the heat of the moment on live auctions either by sweeping across the screen or by clicking to stop screen fading on mobiles. Many places depend on speed at 100 lots an hour.  There is confirmation for auto bids/ bids left prior to start but not live bids. Sarky comments demean the person posting!! I also have been selling online for close to 20 years thanks

I've been buying online for more than 20 years and not once have I accidentally bid on anything...bidders regret is more likely given the above.

Ditto, I was buying things online before the Internet even existed and have never, ever, accidentally bid or bought anything!

So why are you using these sites if you don't like the way they operate?

As they don't appear to be able to use certain auction sites without bidding  in error, maxeystamps would be better off getting more supervision whilst using the internet.
