To those saying a few extra seconds isn't something to whine about, it most certainly is when you are doing the same action thousands of times. I don't understand why game companies don't streamline absolutely everything that is often repeated. Retainers are an attempt to add personality to the auction system, which is interesting, but it is at the expense of raw functionality. And after clicking through them saying the same thing the 5000th time, I'm sure that personality is still fresh and not-at-all annoying.

I named my retainer Automaton.
