It appears that the following auction is what is being referenced here:
https://www.namepros.com/posts/auction-makemoney-com.9487269/
We can also see a report where the same domain and member ran an auction that was not honored and resulted in an account restriction/ban here:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/makemoney-com.1300134/post-8909079
The rules on NamePros effecting end times are:
6.1.6 applies, starting bid, bid increments (default: $1 USD), specific end date and time including the time zone or a relative end time (suggested: 72 hours after last bid) with an optional end date and time (including the time zone) that specifies the earliest time an auction can end (note: the relative end time can extend the auction), and payment options.
6.1.24. Participatory criteria (e.g., eligibility) and restrictions (e.g.,
blocked members) on sales listings and auctions must be reasonable (e.g., “bidders must have ten positive Trade Reviews” or “established members only”), must not require unnecessary actions to be performed, and must be nondiscriminatory based on race, gender, personal preferences or opinions, etc.
Rule 6.1.13 applies.
The end time appears to be transparent, and a reasonable end time may be subjective to different people.
If for any reason the seller does not honor the auction terms they are now bound to (Since there are active bids), their account would be subject to the same action(s) that happened in the previous auction, 2 years ago for the same domain.
It's our hopes that they will honor this auction, this time, so moderators don't have to get further involved.
