It's just saying that each "section" has a bid timer that resets each time a bid is made.

Some auction sites have this already (you bid on something, the time until auction end goes up a minute) to counteract sniping.

Sniping isn’t a bad thing though, it’s the poorly educated bidders that lead to anti-sniping rules. I’d wager 75% of EBay bidders don’t understand how the proxy bidding works there. Ideally you should put in your maximum price when you place a bid and then let the auction run its course.

It's kind of fun to watch attempted sniping happen when they don't out-snipe my proxy bid. I use other auction sites that don't do proxy bidding and you basically have to either snipe or overpay if there's any competition for the auction.
