Crazy ebay timing
OK, this one is completely confusing to me. Last night I bid on an auction that said the listing was to end at 15:30 PST. I placed a bid 7sec before the end of the auction and was the high bidder for a couple seconds, then I was outbid. Looking at the bid history, I see that the winning bid was received at 15:30:11.! How is it possible that a bid was accepted 11 secs after 15:30 (the end of the auction)?????
I was watching the official count down on the listing when I placed my bid at 7secs before the end. I don't think it would have allowed me to place a bid after the countdown reached 0. What the heck is going on???? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
