Anti-sniping is a tool that automatically extends the bid time for a reverse auction by five (5) minutes
if a vendor places a bid in the final five (5) minutes of the reverse auction. The anti-sniping effect
will auto extend the reverse auction bid any time a bid is placed in the last five (5) minutes of the
reverse auction and can auto extend the reverse auction multiple times until the bidding on the
reverse auction ends.
Reverse auction will begin as listed.
