Recently, when I have been trying to buy cards, the timer seems to be off by around half a minute or less. Sometimes, when I don't reload the page, the timer is off by a few seconds, however I reloaded the page only a few seconds before the auction ended, and the timer still read over 30 seconds left. When the auction ended, the timer went on ticking and stopped when it reached 0. The most I have ever seen the timer off has been 10 seconds. Now it's 30 seconds off, twice in a row?

Maybe it’s because someone is placing a higher bid on the card, which adds time to the timer.

No bids were made after I reloaded the page.

The new bids/asks update live, so reloading will not fetch any new bids and asks.
