I once bid on an item and saw the "auction has closed" screen. Then, ebay
decided that because a problem came up shortly after the auction closed,
they would reset all the auctions (even the ones not affected) to close one
day later. Imagine my surprise when I checked MyEbay and saw the auction
was open again!
