This is not a monumental question, just want to satisfy my curiosity. Does everyone have their postings in PDT (PST) or do they post on your local time? Because I live in Sunny CA, all I see is PDT. Just wondering what you on the East Coast & the Midlands show?

All the services AW,Ebay,Etc.
Run on Pacific time.
We here on the East Coast have to adjust for it.
If I want auctions to list at 6:00pm I have to wait till 9:00pm here!

I live on the east coast and adjust auction closings to conform to PST. roughly 3/4's of my stuff goes west. I launch using AW so I'm in my bed reading when the auctions are posted.

Thank you all. Sometimes my curiosity has to be fed. As for setting auctions
, I set them during the week in daylight hours, all start at 11:30 PM PDT. Wellover half of my sales are to the East Coast & Midwest. Aldings, it must be the geography syndrome. The further away, the better it must be. LOL

sanmar, 11:30 PM Pacific is 2:30 AM (next day) on the east coast!
I end my auctions at 10:00 - 11:00 PM east which is 7 - 8 pacific. So everyone can bid in the evening, while they are awake.
And ptimko, you sound like you are in the middle of the Atlantic somewhere!

capotasto: You end your auctions in the early evening on the west coast. I end mine @ 11:30PM PDT. So what if it is 2:30 on the East Coast? I am getting maximum exposure to the entire country. I know people that don't go on line until 11:00PM after their favorite shows are over. I also sell in Hawaii, which is 2 hrs. after PDT.
