One of my items had a bid (yippee!!), and I wanted to watch the last few minutes to see if there were any last second bids.
It seems that option has now disappeared - as in you can't see the countdown.
I tried doing it with my other id - and sure enough that wasn't available either.
If that is a new 'feature' on eBay, it's going to make it difficult for purchasers to jump in with dying moment bids.
I'm on a desk top not a mobile.
Anyone else experienced this? Or could it just be something else that got broken after the Friday maintenance.

kazam, I was watching a couple of items I had on my watchlist for bidding on and had no problems with either last second bidding (I lost.......sigh) and watching the other items count out.
But from memory a seller has to log out and then watch the listing to see the last minutes of the countdown, without logging into their account.

I never had to log out in the past.
And if I was watching it from my other id - pulled the item up via search - I should have been able to see the 'countdown' from there shouldn't I.
(Sorry you missed out on the one you wanted)

I'm not sure if anyone else has also noticed that when bidding within the last hour of an auction that the
quick bid part has also disappeared.
