Please can you change the default behaviour on the pickup time when people enter a bid.

The time is often more imortant than the price to me, but it defaults to current time + 1 hour and most people don't notice, enter a price and press submit.

This means I currently have to ring/txt or msg the person to find out when they can ACTUALLY collect. Would be much better to be blank so that they have to fill it in and enforce a value being entered

I notice you have now changed the form so that it no longer default to current time + 1 thanks for that, but it's allowing people to leave it blank

Just had a quote with pickup as 01/01 00:00
