GOSH! I hate time changes!

I just realized that the auction I launched the past 3 DAYS are closing an hour later than I wanted them to.

Well, at least I know better for tomorrow's launch time.

I found that out yesterday. I don't have very many running so it doesn't really matter. I forget about this every year.

Aw gee, this is going on my next-year's calendar in 10 minutes. It caught me last year, and it's caught me this year!

Wonder why eBay doesn't warn us? On the announcements board or such. Another reason not to be crazy about selling in April.

Next year, let's all warn each other here, a couple of weeks ahead, okay? Deal?

The fault, dear seller, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underoos!

Of all the wonders I yet have seen, it seems most strange to me that sellers should eBay, seeing that moola, a necessary evil, will roll in when it will roll in!

Doesn't this happen again in October only they will end an hour early?

Just warning you now so you don't forget.

Yeah! Yeah! That's just like California!

I've never figured out why they put the ocean on the wrong side of the road!

A true connunnnudrum!

I catch me totally off guard. Like I said I lauched over 60 auction in the past 3 days and did not even notice the closing time until tonight.

Someone PLEASE remind us a couple of weeks or at least days ahead of time in October. I know I won't remember, so I am not going to even pretend to.

ROADSMITH - I was hoping I was not the only one that did not realize this. That's why I started this thread - to remind those of us that can't remember.

Just remember Easter and Halloween and you won't forget the time change. It happens every year, like clockwork. That's not to hard to remember. Here is a New Years resolution for everyone. On Jan 1, when you hang your new calendar write on it when the time changes will occur. First week in April and I think the 3rd week in October. Maybe you should do a reminder a week before the change so you can adjust your auctions. I don't know for sure because the time change doesn't bother me. Only that in the Spring I will lose 1 hour sleep because I list anytime I feel the urge. Remember Spring forward, Fall Backward. OBTW if you need a reminder to do that, on Dec. 31 write on your calendar to remember to do that Jan 1.

It's funny, I launched a 10-day listing last night manually on eBay.

I was going to wait until the end of "Law & Order" but figured, heck do it now before the show starts - 10 pm EST.

I guess I got my 11 pm finish after all...
