When you find an item it the thumbnail time is shorter than the main auction countdown. See this auction for an example 25824518

For example when the auction closes on the thumbnail it is still running when you click the auction title

Craif, not sure what you mean by the "thumbnail time".. Can you give an example using URLs..

Thx

Hi Gazza, if you use this URL
http://uk.ebid.net/perl/main.cgi?type1=a&type2=a&cat=276298&mo=user-store&title=Craigs-Bargain-Shop

Then click on the 1st auction you can see the time difference

I've got the same time here, Craig. No difference between the list time and the item page time at all.

That is strange cause on the thumbnail the time shows to me as 1hr 30 yet when I click on the 1st auction it shows 1hr 32

I wonder if one's coming from ebid, and one from your PC clock somehow? Oh well, not our problem to solve it! :D

Just checked Kim, and ebid are saying it's 11:50pm and my computer is saying 23:49, will go sort it out see if it makes a difference

*Update* Changed time on Laptop and no difference made
