Determining how long a 'Buy Now or Make an Offer' listing will stay posted | Buying

I saw this question was posted years ago but the answers were either outdated, totally unhelpful, or a bit argumentative. If you make an offer ( reasonable or not ) you'll get an email showing that ebay received your offer ( an offer is different than bidding ) and now you must await the sellers response. In that email, at the top, there will be a 'Time Till Listing Ends' with a time stamp in days and hours. Ebay itself uses enticements like 'Make an offer before this listing expires' so it's only fair that the buyers somehow know how long the listing will be open if nobody buy's it at the asking price.
