Introduction
This guide shows you how to choose your timezone, so the dates and times on the Activity page, in a listing's Price History and the sale dates in the Sales report are shown in your own time.
The numbers in brackets, like (1), match the numbered markers in the screenshots.
Step 1: Find the Timezone Setting
Open your account menu (your initials at the top right), click Account settings, and stay on the Account Settings tab. Find Timezone (1).
Step 2: Open the Timezone List
Click the timezone box. A list opens (1) with:
- Eastern Time (EST/EDT)
- Central Time (CST/CDT)
- Mountain Time (MST/MDT)
- Pacific Time (PST/PDT)
Step 3: Pick Your Timezone
Click your timezone, for example Central Time (CST/CDT). It saves straight away: the box shows your choice (1) and Settings saved. appears at the top of the page (2).
⚠️Important: There's no Save button. Your choice saves as soon as you click it.
Step 4: Check Your Dates and Times
The Activity page now shows times in your timezone. For example, the DATE / TIME column (1) shows each time in Central Time, ending in CDT (2).
Tip: On Inventory and Orders, event dates and times are shown in the event's local time, with its time zone at the end, such as 7:30 PM ET or 12:00 PM CT. They don't change with your timezone.
