How to change clock time??

[Former_Member]

I just started running search adds and noticed that the clock for Etsy said I started them at 4:34pm. But it's around 3:56pm now. Is there a way to change the clock to my actual time? I know this isn't really Etsy Success related. I just wonder if this wrong time will make a difference in how much I'm paying or something...like if I'm paying for time I'm not actually using.

The only time I ran ads, I meant to cut it off before midnight on the seventh day so it wouldn't go into a second week, and forgot they were already past midnight on the east coast. They didn't charge me extra, even though I missed by about 40 minutes. I don't know if that helps you at all.

Etsy's clocks are all on Eastern Standard Time (New York Time). In the summer its Daylight Savings Time.

So you need to figure the time in your time zone and work accordingly.

The toughest part of dealing with Etsy time is that here in the Desert Southwest we don't go on summer time (daylight savings time). We never change our clocks.

So for the summer months we are 3 hours time difference from Etsy time and in the winter its 2 hours.

That's interesting about the New York time zone thing. Thank y'all for responding. Nina, it'd good to know they didn't charge you any extra. Also, thanks Crochet Gal for the heads up. I wish I didn't have to change my clock for daylights savings time. Especially when we "lose an hour."
