INFO TO HELP USERS WITH GMT TIME ZONE

carolelliottMember

Just some info to help you figure out what time zone you are in for scheduling auctions to ebay.

GMT = Greenwich Mean Time = Englands Time Zone

They (UK) are 8 hours behind California (ebays time)

USA Mountain time is 7 hours behind GMT (UK)

USA Central time is 6 hours behind GMT (UK)

USA Eastern time is 5 hours behind GMT (UK)

so, for example if you want an scheduled USA auction to go live at 8pm Eastern time set your GMT to -5

We're about to update the website to display actual time zone abreviations instead of the GMT + 8 display.

So, it will display PST instead of GMT - 8.

Sorry about the initial confusion with this. Also, the preferences page where you can set your desired scheduling time zone will have the full text for your time zone to make it easy to determine which one you need to choose.

For example it will display:
Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana

for PST (GMT -8)
