Ebay time

Post by Idris »

Interesting observation: I was bidding (well, sniping actually) on Ebay for my youngest stepson and he was following the auction on his mobile 'phone. However, we discovered that the Ebay countdown on the 'phone was 2 seconds ahead of the one on the laptop.
Odd, eh?

That seems unfair does it not?

Does that mean that an auction may actually have finished by the time i post a bid on my lap top with 2 seconds to go?? :?

Am i better off using my mobile phone for bidding if that is the case? :?
