Art on a Postcard | Hepatitis C Trust | Charity Auction, by Balboa on Nov 14, 2014 11:07:55 GMT 1, They should have just run a silent auction from the start. People could have bid at leisure (although I still don't understand why people leave their bids to the last moments. The person who is prepared to pay the most always wins regardless of when the bid is placed).

Its the first one they've done so I think we can cut them some slack.

The site is already returning error messages when I try to increase my bids.
I'm being bid up on things that I won last night, but people are now bidding on.
Frustrating.

Art on a Postcard | Hepatitis C Trust | Charity Auction, by Strange Al on Nov 14, 2014 17:40:39 GMT 1, I can't watch... everthing's crossed it stays up and running! The Hep C Trust posted this notice on their website:
Important Auction Notice
We have an important message from Giving Live who ran our auction website.
Dear guest
Due to a much higher than expected demand during the Art on A Postcard auction, the website unfortunately became unresponsive in the closing minutes of the auction.
The auction is due to close at 17:00 tonight and at the request of the Hepaitits C Trust it will not be extended beyond this time
We've been working hard to iron out any difficulties, but our advice is to bid early. If there is an item that you would like to bid on, hten we suggest you 'play your hand' early then 17:00. ther is the unforunate risk that the popularity of the event will slow the system again in the closing 60 minutes
Sorry for any inconvenience caused
