Ebay forgot to re-set their clocks

So there is a coin I want to buy today. Get busy working and remember exactly 1 minute too late to bid. Wonder where the 15 minute notification was.





45 minutes later, here comes the notification about the lot closing in 15 minutes (so 1 hour late)





Guess they forgot to reset the clock back on notifications.

    Yes, if you weren't in the same time zone as the servers then that would happen.

    I was going to bid on a token on Sunday evening, I checked Ebay to see if the ending time had changed, it hadn't but was now labeled PST not PDT.



    It didn't really matter as I was the only bidder.

    Am wondering how the OP started a thread in the future. It's only 6:18 P.M. where I am. Yet the timestamp for this thread says : 11/3/2015 9:41 PM

    As the world turns, I guess image

    Did that last Sunday. Talk about a room full of people (Bible study before church) with laughing eyeballs staring at you. My daughter and fiancé' had a good laugh though.
    You see, there was a discussion to turn the clocks back but nobody did. Me image

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
