Posted By: <b>D. Bergin</b><p>Ok, maybe I'm going nuts but I swear I've been viewing all auctions in Ebay with Eastern Standard Time endings this whole time.<br><br>Now it seems they are shown in Pacific time and I can't seem to find the way to change the default setting back to Eastern time anywhere on Ebay. I thought I was going nuts because I noticed my auctions were ending 3 hours earlier then I set them to end until I realized they were set for Pacific time.<br><br>Anybody else notice this?<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Is there any way to set your preferences so that the times display in your local time zone?

Posted By: <b>Robert Klevens</b><p>I look at all the settings in my Ebay account preferences and can't find how to set it to EST. Where is the place to change it?

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p><br>If you check the official ebay time link it indicates that the ebay time is PST (San Jose). It doesn't indicate how this setting can be changed. I couldn't find it in myebay either.<br><br><br><a href="http://viv.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EbayTime&_trksid=m40" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://viv.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EbayTime&_trksid=m40</a>

Posted By: <b>Ray V</b><p>I'm located in Canada and I use ebay.ca ... I think I am linked to EST because ebay's Canadian headquarters are in Toronto. Just my theory.

Posted By: <b>Dan P.</b><p>I just looked at ebay.ca and they still show accepting checks and money orders as allowable methods of payment. Will this be phased out soon like with ebay.com here in the US?
