Ebay, grrrrrr

[Psycolist]

I love dealing on eBay. I allows me to try out items of equipment, some of which I didn't even know existed, try them out & if I don't get on with them, or like them, there is a ready market to redeem the investment and try something else. I have been able to experiment with multiple settings of gearing, frame size, forks, saddles, especially saddles, handlebars, grips, breaks, wheel sizes, tyres, a lot of tyres, even pedals and mudguards. All with an initial investment of around £100, and that same money has allowed me to develop my bike until, for me, its perfect. I do not have to compromise in any aspect. The same money just goes around and around until I am perfectly happy with what I have got. Sometimes I will lose a tenner, then on another item I will make fifteen. Its become as much part of my hobby as the act of riding itself. Sometimes a particular item wont seem to be worthy of keeping, so I sell it on, then I get a different part of my bike altered, which makes me wonder that if this new part, combined with the item I've already sold on, may work well together, so I will go and buy back the item I previously sold. A lot of you will no doubt believe me to be a bit sad by now, but if I own something, I like it to be the best I can make it. That's just my nature, and eBay allows me to do it. Long live eBay !

I think something else was probably awry with the OPs listing actually... You can't pull an auction if there's less than 24 hours before its due to end, or at least that used to be the rule.
Incidentally, I have been shown a different end time before, because I was in a different time zone so it showed it local. Just a thought, but if you'd been logging in via some kind of funny networking arrangement (like a VPN based abroad for example), perhaps you were shown an auction end time of another server in the chain.
