On Sunday 27 March, clocks will be springing forward once again, going ahead one hour at 1:00 GMT to 2:00 BST. The necessary adjustment to the eBay official time will be made to reflect this change.
As a reminder, all items that are listed before the time change will still run for exactly the same length of time of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 30 days. This means that if an item begins at 1:00PM before 27 March and ends after the time changes, the ending time will be changed to 2:00PM instead of 1:00PM.

Making it easier to manage emails sent to buyers
We?re making it easier to manage the emails sent to buyers. You?ll also be able to add tracking numbers from all carriers.
Update on international selling
Over the coming months in some categories, we?ll be testing the increased exposure of US listings on the UK site. At the same time we?ll be testing showing UK items in the main results on eBay.com. This will only apply to listings where sellers have selected the appropriate international postage option.
