I can understand this happening yesterday but all my auctions for the entire week are ending an hour later than when I launched them. I schedule them to end from 9-12 EST and they are ending 10-1 EST. Is this an Ebay thing or AW?

Hi mantczak,

This is interesting, did your auctions start at the time you scheduled them to begin at? Also, are you sure the clock on your computer is set correctly? It should have detected that we lost an hour the other night automatically.

When you launched them it was EST. Now it is EDT. That's where the hour difference is.

Yes I realize there was a time change. But I don't remember this happening last year.
It seems to me that they were only off the one day.

It happened last year too. Ebay runs your auctions for exacly 7 days...to the hour. They don't care about an ending time. You have to launch your auctions an hour earlier if you want them to end at a certain time. Hope that makes sense...I did the same thing because I forgot about it and now all of mine are off too.

I am having the same problem. And my computer clock is correct. I schedule my auctions to end between 8 and 8:30 PDT, and many are ending later. Why?

Hi Mantczak, and Rpshaverpaonlinecom,

On eBay an auctions lasts for a given number of days, starting at the actual launch time, and ending at the same hour. Please consult your items pages at eBay and notice the start/close time displayed. If you notice any discrepancies, please let us know.

Ebay had some outages this week. Maybe they pushed back ending times by an hour to compensate?

Hi Ultimato,

eBay extended some of the auctions affected by the problems they had over the weekend. However I am unsure as to how long the extension was -- probably a few hours or so.
