When it posts at its scheduled time, it can still take eBay several hours to "index" your ad. So, it'll show up in "My Ebay", but may or may not show up in searches right away.
If you schedule a listing, you can edit it in any way you choose, up until the time it is set to post.

Thanks for you're reply: Then what we be the point in scheduling, i know when you schedule on ebay it shows up in the regular search at that time, not just in my ebay
Scheduling with Auctiva is free. eBay charges $.10 each time, I think. Really, it's not much of an issue. I have had times where my listings have not shown up in searches as much as 12 hours after posting. Of course, this is not Auctiva's fault. My listings usually show up in searches pretty quickly.
I'd always assumed that eBay's scheduling feature suffered from the same "indexing" lag, however, I've never used it before, so I can't say for sure...
Personally, I'd rather suffer the occasional lag than have to pay a dime every time I wanted to schedule an auction.
