Ebay Slow Last night?

Ive been selling an item regularly, in a very strong market.

The items consistently get good money and with it being a 10 day auction ending at night i expected this one to be no different, especially since it had a 30 watchers.

Weird thing was though in the last 10 mins or so ebay kept crashing on me and coming up with errors which clicked peoples user names and ratings etc. The to my surprise the item just sat at £20 for the last 3 minutes.

Ebay was slow for me and considering thats the first time one of them has ever sold that cheap, and they usually go for at least £50, i thought maybe it was to do with ebay being slow.

Ebay did say there were doing maintenance that night later on!!

Anyone else experience this?

    Way back before I started using a sniper I lost a couple of items because of fleabay being absurdly slow, and so the seller ended up with less than they should have.

    well I kept getting errors when i was looking at some pages and so when the item sold for less than half it was worth i was pretty shocked!! Especially when they consistently get 40 odd quid even at crappy auction end times.

    Luckily I managed to negociate a big deal with my items outside ebay so cancelled a bunch of auctions hehe :P
