Add support for popcorn bidding on auctions
planned
Jesse Saldana
Allow admins to enable popcorn bidding on an auction item. This allows bids made within the last minute of an auction to extend the item's end date by 5 minutes.

I visit and participate in many auction sites. I think this feature is a valuable part of auctions. It increases the amount that an organization can raise and prevents bidders from waiting until the last second to bid and 'steal' an item. I think 30 seconds or a minute tops is all it needs to be. If it was 5 minutes, the auction could end up lasting for hours.

Putting together an auction and seriously considering another platform simply for this feature.

Would very much appreciate this feature -- my last auction software had it and we definitely raised more money this way. Plus, not encouraging "snipers" is important to me to keep things charitably-focused, rather than trying to sneakily get a bargain.

Popcorn bidding makes so much sense... as it helps our organizations ensure that we are getting the highest contribution possible for each package.

Other platforms we've used have sent a text/email to give them one more chance, or like 5 minutes, to outbid each other. I'd just like to make it as a suggestion that it be an option.
