Parcelpostguy: Try to understand the what that statement is actually saying. "Bids are accepted so long as a bid for a valid amount is received by
ebay's server BEFORE the auction ends!"
Notification lag has nothing to do with the actual ending time of the auction!
I stand by my statement: If
ebay states an auction closes at 4:06PM PDT; a bid posted at 4:06.01PM PDT or later is a "LATE BID" and "MUST NOT" be honored because is was NOT received by
ebay's server before the end of the auction!
