If a winning bid is put in for a player/staff within 3 minutes of the closing time, the new closing time will be reset to 3 minutes from the time of the last bid.

It's to avoid an ebay-style transfer system, where people put in bids at the last second. Believe me - that would be more frustrating than having to wait 3 minutes and actually pay a fair price.

From the Rules:

"We know that transmission delays can happen for a few seconds at the very end of an auction. Therefore, whenever a user places a bid on a player, the time remaining in an auction is extended so that three minutes must pass with no new bids before the auction is over."
