Hi guys, as somebody who hasn't brought a lot from Quick Fire Auctions I just fell foul of the end of auction time.
Whilst the auction I wanted to bid on finished, according to the item page at 14:55, it actually finished exactly one hour earlier.
It's now obvious that all the end times of the auctions are an hour earlier than stated, you live and learn!
Hopefully this post will help other members who are new to Q.F. auctions and like to bid towards the end of an auction.
Cheers.

Hi Q,
The reason for this is because QF is being hosted by a server outside of the E.U. that does not run on European time...last winter the site time was put back 1 hour which in fact made the site early by 2 hours because the sever would not recognise 0 hour or -1 hour from the site settings....so it was decided to leave it on BST this year.
Auctions do end at the 'correct' time on the site time

About European time. UK time is one hour earlier than central European time and 2 hours earlier than east EU time ( as in Finland and Baltic States, as well as in Greece ). In most forums is a possibility to set a correct time. As I'm not using QF and thus I don't know if there is a similar possibility.
