There have been suggestions on a new way of bidding where you put in what the max bid you would want to pay and then it would automatically bid for you until you reach your limit, then it stops bidding for you, in order to stop those last minutes bids and staying up till 3 in the morning to try to get a play or anything, but so far it hasn't gone through, so maybe you can go suggest it again in the suggestion forums. I personally am fine with the way the bidding is because it resets to an additional 3 minutes for every last minute bids, but many people have different opinions.
