Would it be possible to convert ebay time to local time in the program ? Instead of this :

Time left: 2 days 1 hours (Aug 18, 200915:39:51 PDT)

convert it to 12 hour time something like this, since i am in the eastern time zone +3 hours:

End Time Tuesday Aug 18 at 6:39:51 P.M. EDT
, know what i mean ? I hate the way they display time . I think it would be a nice feature. thanks for listening

I don't see anywhere where the absolute time is used on the sniper.
Any place which require a time, you will see something like "2 days 1 hour left" which is the same for any timezone.

Can you please let me know where you saw the absolute time in PDT timezone?

Sorry ,what i was refering to is on ebay itself.What i mean is make "2 days 1 hour left" more local,like
2 dayswould be "Wednesday" and 1 hour left would be the actual local 12 hour time "12:55:00 P.M."

I have "2 days 1 hour left" for a reason so you don't need to keep your time zone correctly, you don't need to worry about getting the right time, etc.
When you have "2 days 1 hour left", you know that this is the remaining time which is the same for any time zone no matter where you are and how you local time set on your PC.

I'm not sure why you think having it as "Time Left: August 21, 2009, 12:55:00 PM" is better that "Time Left: 2/01:26:12".
Any specific reason? Please let me know.

To me "Ends Wednesday August 21, 2009, 12:55:00 PM" would be a nice "added option" in addition to "Time Left" . It gives you the exact end time . Not that it is any better, its how i think of time. For example if have to be at work Wednesday at 8:30 A.M ,I don't think I have to be at work "In 2/01:26:12", i think i have to be at work "Wednesday at 8:30 A.M". More of a personal preference. Sorry if i was not clear, and thanks for the great program !

Make more sense now.
I'll see what I can do. Probably adding a new column (which you can enable) to show the absolute time.
Thank you.
