When you place a bid on eBay, you enter your bid amount and clicking a "confirm bid" button takes you to another page where you "place your bid". On both pages you can see the time remaining. UNTIL TODAY. Just bid on an auction and when I went to the place your bid page to watch the seconds count down before placing my bid in the final seconds, there is now no countdown timer. Went to another auction on my watch list to check that it wasn't a one time screw up. Nope. You enter your bid amount, click to go to the final bid page and - no timer. Doodyheads trying to get rid of sniping an auction? grrrrrr...... </ rant >

Just tried it, worked for me. Maybe there was a server problem earlier.

Worked perfectly for 6 straight bids. Sniped all 6.

I still have no countdown clock on the confirm bid box. The box has a new format or look to it as well.
Wonder if I'm getting Beta tested or something.

I had the same issue weeks ago when I tried to bid on something. I bid with about 20 seconds to go so I figured I had time to back up the page to see where the clock was out and I could not get back to the page. I forgot if they logged me out or the page expired. All I know is that by the time I got back the page the auction was over and I missed out on a fantastic deal. So I gave up on bidding on E-bay.
