It would be very nice if you recieved a message or some sort of notification as to if you won a bid and what it was. There is at the moment, no notification I know of other than to look in your bank and see what you've recieved that wasn't there before. I think it'd help people with horrible short term memory like myself, and just be generally a little bit easier. Something to take into consideration! Not sure if anyone else cares too much. Hah! But thanks anyway!

I thought we got 'mail' on the marketplace window? There's a little letter icon and you get messaged saying whether you won/got outbid/sold an item.

Edit: On the subject, it might be wise to offset auction times by a random amount say, 10minutes either side. and not announce what the time of ending actually is, just have it say "less than 10 minutes left"

This would prevent last second sniping and the items would be sold for a price more beneficial to the seller. Just a thought. x

To be honest, sniping usually drives the price up by quite a bit, since people want to ensure they get the item. Not sure if your suggestion would actually be beneficial to the seller.

Would it be possible to have a list of auctions which you are currently bidding on, or trades where you have offers which are active/pending?

There is marketplace mail notifications about if you are the highest bidder or are no longer such, but I have won bids and received no notification via the mail system. Only the items in my bank let me know I won. Also I just no longer do bids. haha. I've lost about 8 mill or so on them :'( But I guess that's what they're for.
