TeAnne - don't lose any sleep over it - the display time is totally and utterly irrelevant. If you look at the My Snipes page you'll see that, for each snipe, it has a display of, for example:
ends
2d 4h 11m 0s
08/06/2004 20:12:06
This doesn't move unless you press the [Update Prices] button as it is just a snapshot of the snipe. (Not quite true - you can set it to count down if you want - click on [_ modify account _] but this is a bit pointless in my humble opinion!).
Back to the display - in this example it means that the item has 2 days and 4 hours to go and it finishes at 12 minutes past 8 in the time zone I've specified under [_ modify account _] - British Summer Time.
Rest assured that AS doesn't care what time zone you or the item you want is in - it just works out the number of seconds to close and snipes at the appropriate time (depending on your lead time and the response times of the network and the servers).
