"Time Remaining" ??
Hi Everyone.
Regarding Auction Time Clocks....Which one is correct??
Is it just me, or does it show on everyone's listing??

QUESTION ONE:
I was editing one of my listings that had about 2mins left and went to change it to-: Auto Relist.
As i was doing this the Auction ending time showed 2 Mins In Red
And showed that there was 4mins 22 Secs left in the "Time Remaining" on the top right of the page.
I refreshed a few times to see what both the time remaining clocks showed me, and
everytime i did this, the time in the Red showed something like 1 Min 36 Secs
And still showed that there was 4 Mins 22 Secs On the "Time Remaining" on the top right side.


QUESTION  TWO:
OK: So after my item (The same one) was automatically relisted, i went to check the clock again (On the Listing Page),
And the "Time Remaining" In Red showed  2 Days 23 Hrs
Whilst the "Time Remaing" clock on the top right showed 4 Mins 15 Secs.

It seems all over the place, am i imagining it ?
Or is it something wrong with my computer?

Thanks
Cheers Kat

Hi Kat,  The time has been like that for a long time.  I never take any notice of the time on the top right hand side.  I always go by the time on the actual item ending.  I missed out on an item with more than 2 bids on because I was watching the top right hand side time.  I do not know why it is like that but some one might come along soon and tell us why.

Hi  blackduck
Thanks for  your reply.
It can get rather confusing, and quite a while back, i went to bid on an item when it said there was 40 secs left
and when i went to bid, it said the auction had ended! (:
