Well, no!
This ebay site shows at the same moment the time in Europe and in USA/Pacific,
so there should not be any difference! Beside that, while 
$time{brdTi1} = scalar localtime($time{brdSec});
$time{brdTi2} = scalar localtime($time{brdSec}-$time{brdOFF});

shows exact time for MEZ: 
        brdDay  =>      05 Jan 2005
        brdTime  =>     09:50:04
        brdOFF  =>      3600
        brdSec  =>      1104918604
        brdTi1  =>      Wed Jan  5 10:50:04 2005
        brdTi2  =>      Wed Jan  5 09:50:04 2005
        brdTiZo  =>     MEZ

the same code: 
$time{usaTi1} = scalar localtime($time{usaSec});
$time{usaTi2} = scalar localtime($time{usaSec}-$time{usaOFF});

for PST shows this: 
        usaDay  =>      05 Jan 2005
        usaTime  =>     00:50:04
        usaOFF  =>      -28800
        usaSec  =>      1104915004
        usaTi1  =>      Wed Jan  5 09:50:04 2005
        usaTi2  =>      Wed Jan  5 17:50:04 2005
        usaTiZo  =>     PST
