I was curious what sellers normally do when their auction ends during
the blackout. Do they extend the ending times of their auction, etc.?

Most people will, if possible, extend the auction end time. It seems
fair and, from their perspective, they're losing money by not
doing so.

Fortunately our huge auction (more than a dozen of us combining
shipping on over 200 items - shameless plug I know) doesn't
end until Thursday night, so we don't have to worry about that issue.

So far we're still under 24hrs downtime so I'd assume extensions may only be a day or so.

Timing kinda didn't work out for the majority of G4GG March listings - been anticipating this day for weeks hoping I score some new games & goodies.

Of course in particular finally nabbing one of Cate108s mystery parcels!

The question is do math trades extend during blackouts....

I've got an auction that ends at noon today. Sigh.

When I saw the notice yesterday morning, I had time to put a notice on
my auction that I'd be extending it if necessary.

That was when they were predicting intermittent downtime, not a full
day black out. Oh well.
