So please quit giving them a hard time... If you would have read the top of this board instead of yelling you would have read that. Now, as for reading, If you would read the announcements board, which is a good idea to do on a daily basis, you would have seen that ebay is having a problem.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 17:57:15 PST   Listings I see that the site has gone belly up. Maybe somebody found a back door into ebay.

How long is this supposed to last? One item that I was watching, ended about an hour ago.

Posted by   ( ) on Nov-21-09 at 17:29:56 PST   Listings Ebay reps are saying they will extend the auctions for 24 hours and refund fees to sellers when the system is back up. The problem is that many sellers currently checking their auctions through the my ebay page are finding that not only are their auctions ending, but some folks are making immediate payment to lock in the sale. So the question becomes, what is going to happen to the sellers whose auctions are closing on time, but additional bidders have been unable to access the items to bid? Some items will go for far less than they should. The problem will be complicated by people paying on the closed items via pay pal. If the seller does not send the item we will see the negative feedback fly and complaints to pay pal. This is going to be a mess for a lot of buyers and sellers. It's too bad. Other ebay discussion boards have people reporting that the system is down worldwide. Looks like this outage is a "biggie".
