minutes.
This wasnt a lack of auctions ending within minutes though, just that they
were not being displayed unless you searched on the specific auction ID
number. Searching for a more precise set name for example, still didnt list it.
I noticed this when I followed a link to an auction from lugnet, that had
minutes to run, but wasnt comming up in the seach. Looking at the sellers

being displayed in the search list.
All the times seemed correct, i.e. the auction finish time, the ebay official
time.
It made me wonder what other auctions I was missing as I wouldnt know without
the ID number.
Strange
