Instead of "July 12 at 5:32:49 PM" they could say "less than a day" or "in a few hours". This is the one thing that has kept me away from eBay. I wouldn't be able to stand the frustration of missing a good deal on something by $1.50. Oh well, bargin bins and flea markets have worked well enough for me.

My feeling is that if they didn't want you to do it, they would make it so that the auction had no fixed ending time, and the person holding the auction could terminate it at any time they though it had gone for long enough.
