[Boatanchors] E-Pay At It Again

[Michael D. Harmon]

Well, E-Pay is at it again!

They have now taken the exact end time off the auction listings so it's 
impossible to tell how many seconds remain to the closing time.

When you pull up an item, all it shows is the time left in hours and 
minutes.  If it says 12:17 PM, is the ending time 12:17:51 or is it 
12:17:04?

It appears that the change was made to foil snipers (and the automated 
sniping software), but I couldn't get anyone at E-Pay to give me
a reason for the change.  When I pressed to speak to someone who could 
explain the change, Customer Service hung up on me.

First, they removed successful bidder IDs, then they made it impossible 
to pay with anything other than PayPal (which E-Pay owns, BTW),
and now it's this!  It just looks like the bean-counters at E-Pay are 
making a concerted effort to hassle the users.

FWIW ...
