Bumblebeeauctions has addressed this problem by introducing automatic auction extensions. i.e. If a user places a bid in the last 10 minutes of an auction, the auction will be extended in 10-minute increments. This is considered a reasonable time for the user to receive an email telling them that they have been outbid, they can then if they want, log on to the system and place another bid.
