This is on the site of a coin dealer, and I like the wording--although I'm not sure I want to put it in my descriptions:
THE DANGERS OF LAST MINUTE BIDDING : Almost without fail after an auction has closed we receive emails from bidders who claim they were attempting to place a bid and were unable to get into eBay. There is nothing we can do to help bidders who were "locked out" while trying to place a "last minute" bid. All we can do in this regard is to urge you to place your bids early. If you're serious in your intent to become a winning bidder please avoid eBay's high traffic during the close of an auction. Its certainly your choice how you handle your bidding, but we'd rather see you a winner instead of being left out during the last minute scramble.

I agree with it but, remember most buyers hardly every read the TOS so I wouldn't expect them to read that either. If they get locked out in the end to bad.
