I had a snipe set up for today on eBay UK which failed and is reporting:

ENDED (AUCTION END TIME CHANGED)

ebay item number: 175214351710

I'm wondering if this is because the UK changed to Daylight Saving Time last Sunday (from UTC to UTC+1)?

No, it will be because, if you look at the listing itself, at the top:

'This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.'

As a slight aside, Gixen doesn't work in a manner in which time zones which vary due to daylight savings time changes can have any affect in it's operation. It basically works in the time frame which never alters.

Thanks. When I followed the link to the item, eBay redirected to another item so I couldn't see that it had been ended early (found it eventually)

Is there a page that explains the Gixen error messages?

I understand this one now. It was the word "changed" that confused me becaue I don't think it's possible to change an auction end time, only to end it early. In this case, "AUCTION TERMINATED BY SELLER" or similar would have been clearer.
