and I'm a tad bit confused. I bid on a item and my eBay clock is at -23 minutes. The auction for this item started @ 13:00 est. How long until I know if I won it or not?...image

    Not as confused as I am after reading your post. What is eBay clock -23 minutes?

    Edited: Mixed up time zones.

    If you go to the live auction section you can watch the auctions. When you'll know depends on how many lots away yours is.

    Russ;

    I drop a bid on a auction at Heritage through eBay. I'm sure when you're at eBay you watch the clock or snipe as the case may be. When the clock hit zero (0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes), it being my first time bidding on a live one, I thought I won it. I kept going in and out of my eBay only to find the clock was now at a minus time (as stated above above, then, it was at -23 minutes). Since posting this thread, I've yet to check and see what the status is on the auction. When I awoke from "sawing wood" and checked my mail, there was no conformation in my email such as there would've been if it were a auction won at eBay. Like I said...I'm NEW at this "Live auction" participation and a tad bit confused too...image

    Thanks,
    Tom

    You should sign up on Heritage's website and bid there, the buyer's premium is 15% instead of 20%.

    Razor...I've never bid on a live Heritage auction, but I do recommend you register with them. I've been very satisfied with their service and coins from their weekly internet auctions.

    The clock you are talking about is the time until the auction goes live I belive.
    So until the coin actually is auctioned the clock goes -

    You could view the live auction in progress thru eBay.

    Go here. Then click on view live next to the Heritage fun auction.

    They are at a dinner break for now so it will just sit on one coin until it starts again.
