eBay auto-cancellations after nonpayment: Is it after 96 hours or 4 full days?

Question

Just wondering -- if an auction ends at 6PM Monday, and the seller has turned on the "auto-cancel if payment not received in 4 days" option, will eBay cancel the order at 6PM Friday, or sometime on Saturday?

It should be the same time the ad ended or perhaps a few seconds later.  If you resend the invoice, the clock will reset and the buyer gets an extra 4 days to pay.  This is a very dumb move by ebay.
