General
Ok so the main consensus on the last one was basically y'all prefer, for the most part, to bid on the whole commission rather than slots when it has to do with intimate situations with characters.
As for my next questions...
Do you guys like the idea of payment plans if the commission reaches xx amount in bids? Like say the auction ends at $300 usd but I allow 1-2 months to pay it? Then start the commission once it's paid.
What do you guys think of auctions that end 48 hours after the last bid? Do you prefer flat dates for end times?
I personally think the 48 hours after last bid sounds nice because it encourages bidding but also prevents snipping.
I'm thinking of implimenting these on my next auctions to make everything better for you guys. I hear "I don't get paid till xx many days after the auction" or "ah if only I had a little longer to come up with the money" type thing that I'd love to not have a Pay wall for my art for you guys.
I really want there to be a nice happy ground between us as artist and commissioner ❤️

I think the payment plan option is a very nice idea, as someone who has trouble with paying things in the moment.
I like flat end times, maybe some other way of preventing sniping, such as "Ends at ##:##, plus 12 hours after the latest bid"
48 hours after the last bid just feels like too long of a time to wait to see if I've won. And if someone keeps bidding near the end of the window, it could drag it out for days and days. No thanks.
Payment plans are nice, though personally I don't tend to bid on things unless I have the money in hand (or my account, rather) to pay immediately. I don't like making promises like that, and then if something were to happen before my next paycheck, I couldn't afford it anymore.
