The title says all. There should be a feature on auctions that give you a notification reminding you about them.

For example, you go to an auction. You choose for a notification about the auction pop up on your notifications 1 minute before it ends.

Hmm.. I feel like this was suggested before but I'm not sure..

Anyways, I think this could be a good idea, maybe making use of the alarm clock. But I kinda agree what Shadow said; be more specific. Maybe make the idea easier to understand by adding some more details.

But really, if I can understand what you're talking about, anyone can.

Which auction? the one you set up, or the ones your bidding on?
@pony thank you for agreeing

no support
this would be unnecessary as the auction house tells you how much time is left and when you have been outbid and win or lose ETC

Like you said.

It only says when you have been OUTBID.

This suggestion gives a feature that told you even if the current bid is starter or yours.

why would that matter? would you like to pay more? you could always view the auction house to see current bid

Yeah, actually I have to switch sides here.

BlooperVeteran does have a point. Obviously it would make a feature slightly easier, but only slighly. And if you can do it normally, then what's the point of implementing it?

lol, I feel like I'm just repeating everything XP

Because with snipers nowadays, the feature of telling you only when you have been outbid is really useless. And the one that says only on the end of the auction. Even more useless.

when you get sniped a notification would be pointless as the auction is over

And that is what currently happens with the feature of telling you only when your outbid.

No support.

I feel like it'd be an oversimplification. You should be responsible for checking things you're bidding on and not having this suggestion would allow snipers to snipe easily - something I've always supported in order to allow newer users to get pokemon.

Set an alarm on your mobile phone or, dunno, use an old fashioned alarm clock if you don't want to forget about an auction. You can even adjust it to your liking - you can set it 30 minutes before the auction ends or only 2 minutes, if that's what you'd prefer. 's what I do and it works perfectly fine for me. There's really no need for a feature like this when a simple alarm-clock does the trick perfectly fine.

Well, yes, there are other ways to get pokemon - there are also other ways to get a ditto. I support sniping because it equals out the chances. I always watch over important auctions - it's sort of expected that a ditto would get sniped at the last second considering how many people want it.

1. im a non mobile user, so i can't do stuff like that.
2. sniping is causing users to be lazy and not take pokeheroes seriously, and that's gonna bite hard eventually.
2A. snipers rub it in my face when they snipe something from me.

and i really can't report them for it.

1. Alarm clocks.
2. False. I'm a very active player and I take PH very seriously. I'm a 'sniper' because that's simply how you win acutions when they're timed, period.
2a. Never happened to me - when I've been sniped, because, suprise, is has happened to all of us and we still somehow survived - nor did I ever do it myself - when I've been the one sniping. Unless some user decided to be a brat and insult me because how dare me winning an auction because I want something for myself every now and then. Well, in this case, I might have answered accordingly. But that's a whole nother story.

Seriously. You either get over the fact that auctions on here are timed and not being extented whenever there's someone bidding within the last few seconds and become a 'sniper' yourself - or you'll be crying about this forever because sniping is not gonna change.

@SilverStar Honestly, I felt like this suggestion actually supports snipers. They could easily put their PH alarm clocks to warn them about the auction if this feature existed. Not all of us has an actual solid irl alarm clock.
