Anybody start an auction in March that ends in April?

Did you notice that eBay added an extra hour to the auction end time?

An April's Fool surprise or their way of addressing daylight savings time?

One eBay day always equals 24 hours.

So the time slips in the spring and slides in the fall, or whatever.....

If it starts at 10 AM it should end at 10 AM, savings time or not.
Crazy ebay logic!

And I've heard a rumor that the Left coast may turn clocks ahead again next month for energy savings.

Pacific Energy Saving Time? PEST

Ebay's 7 day auctions are exactly 168 HOURS long. No adjustment is made for time change. Same thing with 3,5, and 10 day.

I think this is WRONG, and they should fix it.

My personal feeling is that the West Coast should set their clocks ahead 4 months, bypass the hot summer season and go directly to Fall. Think of the money and energy that would be saved!
Not skyline8 on eBay.
