Most auctions at eBay run for a week; the auction item page always lists how much time is left. However, sellers can run auctions for as short as one day or as long as ten days.
To synchronize your clock, make sure that you're logged on to the Internet and can easily access the eBay Web site. Then follow these steps:
-
Go into your computer's Control Panel and double-click the icon that represents your system's date and time functions.
-
On the eBay Web site, go to the Site Map by clicking its link above the navigation bar on the top of every eBay page.
-
Click the eBay Official Time link.
This link is located at the bottom of the Browse column on the left side of the page.
-
Check your computer's time against eBay's current time.
-
Click the minutes in your computer's clock and then click the Reload button (sometimes it's called Refresh) on your browser.
Clicking Reload ensures that you see the latest, correct time from eBay.
-
Type in the minutes displayed on the eBay Official Time page as soon as the newly reloaded page appears.
-
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to synchronize your computer's seconds display with eBay's.
This process takes a little practice, but it can mean the difference between winning and losing an auction.
