I'm gonna snipe an item that ends around 8:30pm tomorrow. How do I know what time it actually ends? Every clock is different. I need to know if it ends exactly at 8:30 because I've read on here to give more time on hour and 1/2 hour endings (although I don't understand this), I want this item so even if it doesn't make sense...I'll do it to win!!! lmao

The auction shows the exact ending time. "Every clock is different"? There's only one - ebay PST.

Is this a trick question?

Exact hour/half would be xx:00:00 or xx:30:00?

lol...not a trick question...

Where in the heck is the ebay clock??? I'm not new to ebay at all and I don't remember seeing a clock. Maybe I'm having a blonde moment

Ok here is an example...I just looked at the item 23hrs 9 min left

My computer clock says 09:21
my desk clopck says 09:15
and my watch says 09:18

How do I know which is correct to make sure it doesn't end on a 1/2 an hour mark.

Does this help explain at all?

If it's tonight, with that lead time, you have a better chance of having your snipe placed than you have surviving your commute to work tomorrow.

Useful links if you ever want to set your entire house to precisely match eBay time, should you ever become so obsessed that every second counts:

US site

UK site

Since I'm in London (about 20 miles west of Greenwich) the second page tells me I ought to be in bed ...
