Is it possible to set your time zone on watched auctions?

I live in the pacific time zone yet all of my auctions listed and watched show in EDT right now.  Which, is universal for sure but how hard would it be to customize that time on the page based on your address or preference?  Unless you can and I'm missing it!  🙂

If you use eBay.ca, all times are Eastern.

 

If you use eBay.com, all times are Pacific.

 

You would think that eBay would have a local time zone setting in My eBay Site Preferences. Computers have advanced so much since the late 90's when eBay was started.

 

I think there are third party apps to convert eBay time for FireFox browser.

 

What I used to do is have a clock beside me set to Eastern Time. Then I would glance at the clock to see the time.  Now I am just so used to converting I no longer have the clock. At least I am in the Pacific time zone so eBay.com is right. It must be harder for someone in say Alberta to have to adjust for both sites.

I've never seen a way to change it, but guess I haven't really looked.  Doubt that you can.  It's no biggy for me though, just writing down what time EDT is -3 hrs ahead.

Yes, I'm not saying it's not easy to convert the -3 hours...I do not think it's an unreasonable expectation or request to customize the time you want to see.

 

Thank you pomo!  😄  I'll search up a script now!  Agreed, at least we have an option.
