Ebay always had a countdown clock that was visible even after you placed your bid, and were waiting for the last few seconds to place your snipe! What happened? Its gone!
Seems there is always someone at ebay that is trying to prove their value by making changes, and I don't have much faith in their choices. Someone lost out on my bid tonight because of it and if I have to go back to a timer, I WON'T like it much.
That's my whine for the day!

Well what the heck? I thought something might be goofy, so I tried it on a second item and it was the same?? Too tired to deal with it tonight, I'll have to check it again tomorrow.
Thanks for the response Randy!

Mines working fine, but I have had an incident where my advanced search feature went away for several days due to a virus exclusive to ebay.My computer tech (daughter) updated the computer and now it works fine.

Kevin, have you tried opening your eBay with a different browser? Similar things were happening with my internet explorer and went away when I used a different browser. Hope it works for you.


Wanted anything Flying A Gas, Signal Gas, Hancock oil co, and Sunland.

Thanks Anthony

A few weeks ago on my new lap top, all the feedback numbers behind the seller's ID were missing. Went on for several days. Kevin have you ever thought of a auction snipe service ? Not that expensive, another thing can happen is losing power.

Kevin does not snipe... and I think it should stay that way... some of us Cities collectors rely on him falling asleep every now & then laugh
