My work laptop is restricted to the Australian time zone for work purpose, which affects how TradeMe operates. I would expect TradeMe to automatically interpret and adjust for the universal time zone, regardless of the device's clock settings. Alternatively, it would be helpful to display a notice when a user selects and "pays" for a customized listing end time, ensuring clarity. Probably a question for IT support team at TradeMe.
I noticed that Trade Me is using the local computer's clock to determine the listing's end time instead of adhering to the specified timezone settings. I set my listing to close at 6 PM NZ time, but since my laptop's clock is set to Australian time, the closure time is incorrect. Could you please clarify why the platform relies on the local clock rather than using a universal timezone (e.g., UTC) or the specified NZ time in the listing? Looking forward to your guidance. Thank you!
