If they say, "Sorry, but I'm trying to concentrate on the auction right now. Talk later?" or "Chat after the next two panels?" then hopefully the people IMing them will get a clue.
Sometimes, I'm happy to IM with friends, but it's usually about the cats or how the auction is going, timing for other events we're going to afterward, not just general chit chat.
I totally agree and thats what I was trying to say. If someones bothering you in IM you are an adult tell them so. Pretty or any other auctioneer, doesn't need to be bothered having people say oh I was IM'd during your auction, do what she does if you don't want to be bothered by IM's stick the auto response on. My point was its up to individuals to deal with their own IM's if they are distracting them NOT the auctioneer after the event is finished.
Auction Courtesy. Your Thoughts
