Auction countdown clock not working properly

[corbin556]

I had some active auctions (I am the seller) that expired today at around 3:30 EDT.  As I was watching the last minute or two on the Bid History page the Time Left countdown clock would start at a certain time left, say 1 min, 39 sec,  it would count down to 1 min 23 sec and then it would jump back to the 1 min, 39 sec again. I would refresh and it would start at 1 min, 14 sec, get down to 1 min 8 sec and then jump back to 1 min, 39 sec again. Even after the auction ended it kept going back to 1 min, 39 sec.  Also, it would reflect the bids as of 1 min, 39 sec and not any bids placed after that. This is not the only time this has happened.  Does this happen on the bidders' end as well? And if so, could this be preventing some bids from posting accurately?

I have not seen the time left clock move in real time on any of my listings in over a month.

The countdown is implemented in your individual browser; try viewing using a different browser, or else viewing a different page. I see countdowns on individual auction listing pages whenever the time remaining is less than 24 hours, and on search results whenever the time is displayed in minutes and seconds.

ebay has things all screwed up, worst I've seen now. It's costing us auctions. ebay hires idiots.

That has nothing to do with 2 different times running as an auction winds down. Can see them both.
