    Dead as a dodo again today and checking the down detector there is a big orange dot over the uk

    Surely eBay must be breaking the law by charging for a service they're not providing ?

    There is some speculation that ebays servers can't cope with the volume of traffic, so why are they giving all 'private' sellers100 free listings per day ??

    We have just had two auctions finish. Both had 30 watchers and received a bid earlier today they both sold for the initial bid

    The U.K. Again is under a big red dot. Coincidence ??

    Well after an absolutely stunning weekend I'm now back to dead as a dodo. Yesterday I didn't even sell anything at all.

    I'm just about to start a thread about Shpock (I got desperate)

    Surely eBay have to come forward and make a statement about what's going on. The eBay selling boards are full of threads of sellers complaining about lack of sales and glitches and all eBay do is put their prices up

    They could go into free fall and they would still be blaming us sellers. The problem is some sellers are still doing very well for some reason, at the weekend I literally couldn't pack the stuff as fast as it was selling and I got though loads of posting sacks as I sold so much.

    But there's no rhyme or reason to it. You has a fab weekend (well done) but you don't know why or what you can do to replicate

    Be a Top Rated Seller they said, give free delivery and one day despatch When that didn't work they said "try a promotion, buyers love promotions". Tried that, it didn't work either.

    When Chinese sellers and "private" sellers rate higher in the listings than TRS, what's the point ?
