When i look at an item the timezone is set to AEDST. However, I am in AEST (Brisbane) not AEDST.
It gets the time right in the lists but not the items; how do i fix that?

In 2018? If that's true you're all idiots, if you can't see that. If ebay has found some way to account for this.. then.. nevermind. It's a really simple thing.. honestly.
No need for 1000's of words of debates about it.
Thank you....I like being called an idiot because I understand how ebay operates.
If you bother to read about ebay you will see that it runs on NSW time and under NSW Law. I do have an advantage as I live in NSW but surely members in other states have found some way of compensating for time differences.
You are well aware of daylight savings time....how do you usually remember to bid/buy at the appropriate time while daylight savings time is in force?

I think some people just need something to be outraged about.
I mean, if vouchers end at 23:59 NSW time then why wait until 22:57 local (Brisbane) time to be outraged at ‘losing’ one hour? (timestamp on jonwbris’ post is 23:57 AEDST)
The only reason I can see for holding off using a voucher until the death is the hope that a better voucher will arrive. For example, why use a 5% off on $30+ purchase voucher when a $20 off any purchase voucher might come along. Recently, I used the ‘MONEY’ $20 off voucher to pay $0 on 2 items totalling $19.81
I have found that the best time to use a voucher is as soon as possible after receiving it (if I have a genuine use for it). This way I don’t forget to use it the voucher and I avoid eBay glitches, eBay T&C changes and eBay withdrawing the voucher.
