what time is it

Might also help if the downtime was not biased towards one particular area....downtimes always seem to be at a time when buisness is starting up in the u.k. which is infuriating as I prepare an item and then cant list it at 9.30 or 10 in the morning and end up paying ebay extra for everything which after joining auctivas new subscription service I was hoping to avoid ....strange tho when it was free we hardly had downtimes that interfered with listing here

We're GMT -7 or -8 depending on daylight savings time. Normally we include that in our notices.

We have traffic graphs. We do our updates at the very slowest traffic time. As most of our customers are in the US this means 11pm our time is usually slowest. The problem being that is 7am in the UK. We're doing it at time times that impact the fewest customers. We are working to reduce the weekly maintenance window to be shorter which will be completed this year and should make our weekly maintenance less noticable for all users.
