When listing auctions last week I launched everything an hour earlier than usual to take in account the time change. All was well; an auctions launched at 8:10 am, Eastern, time showed a closing time of 9:10 am.
BUT NOW ebay has changed the ending times to be one hour less. My auctions launched at 8:10 are closing at 8:10.
Most of my bidders are from California and I time my auctions to end shortly after they get to the office and start bidding!

April Fool’s bug strikes eBay!
This might have been what happened!
After reading this article do you suppose Ebay is going to refund everyone that listed on Sunday. I know I usually get alot of last moment bidders, which didn't happen on Sunday, I couldn't understand what happened to the bidders until I read this article!
Quoted from the article..
"eBay spokesperson Kevin Pursglove said he couldn’t explain"why eBay hadn’t patched the software. He said the company will refund eBay’s auction fee for any customer whose bidding ended on Sunday."
Edited because I don't know how to put a
link in.
