Help, I'm havving a blond moment!

If I list today on eBay on a 3day auction, what day will it finish on?

I know! I know what you're thinking :eek: :D

WHilst we are at it, how do i add one of those scrolling showcases to the bottom of the lsitings which shows all my other items? I'm eBay had one of their own.

e..g http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320089289732&rd=1&rd=1

    train tickets are not issued by the hour though, just by the day...so if you bought a 3 day ticket now it would be for Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday...tough luck that half of Monday is already gone...;)

    And the bit of Wednesday that you won't use.

    Just pointing out to OP that their confusion was not totally daft.

    If you'd never checked the rules, would you stake your life that fleabay would do it the logical way? :cool:

    There is no catch with Auctiva. It is totally free.
