Ok, maybe I'm going nuts but I swear I've been viewing all auctions in Ebay with Eastern Standard Time endings this whole time.

Now it seems they are shown in Pacific time and I can't seem to find the way to change the default setting back to Eastern time anywhere on Ebay. I thought I was going nuts because I noticed my auctions were ending 3 hours earlier then I set them to end until I realized they were set for Pacific time.

Anybody else notice this?

they have always been on pacific time.

PST

Yep, eBay time has been pacific time since Day One.

Ahhh, maybe I'm just going nuts. I could have sworn I was set for EST this whole time. Maybe all the snow is going to my head.

Is there any way to set your preferences so that the times display in your local time zone?

Mine are all set to EST.

I look at all the settings in my Ebay account preferences and can't find how to set it to EST. Where is the place to change it?

If you check the official ebay time link it indicates that the ebay time is PST (San Jose). It doesn't indicate how this setting can be changed. I couldn't find it in myebay either.

I'm located in Canada and I use ebay.ca ... I think I am linked to EST because ebay's Canadian headquarters are in Toronto. Just my theory.

I just looked at ebay.ca and they still show accepting checks and money orders as allowable methods of payment. Will this be phased out soon like with ebay.com here in the US?
