  • Been in this morning myself no problem, but it was VERY slow yesterday. Looks like maintenance on the servers.

    Apparently the US servers went down overnight so this might be having a knock on effect for some people.

    I did get in OK though, so it might be just a random problem.

    I couldn't get past the sign in page for a while. OK now, though.

    It looks like ebay is broken again this evening.

    I had some listings finish a while ago and they are showing as sold but are still sitting in my 'selling' page. I haven't even got the end of auction emails yet and it won't let me send any invoices.

    I think I might just walk away and come back and try it again later. It is frustrating though as I have my listings timed so that I can get my invoices out and hopefully get everything paid by paypal in the next hour or so and I can then wrap the parcels and have them all at the post office first thing tomorrow. I hate hanging around waiting.

    In the announcement sections it states that they have had problems and..

    "One group of databases was unavailable from 03:33 BST until 06:10 BST. Since the items in these databases were unavailable for more than 2 hours, eBay will credit all fees associated with these listings. In addition, eBay has extended these listings by 24 hours and added an additional two hours to the credit and extension period.

    The second group of databases was unavailable for less than 2 hours, from 03:33 BST until 05 :15 BST. Since these items were unavailable for less than 2 hours, eBay will credit all listing fees associated with these listings, but will not extend the listings. We will also add two hours to the credit period for these listings."

    How will you know if you have been affected? Will Ebay contact you? (Doubt it!)

    Seems to be working OK now, however I did have an item end today, but I have recieved end of item email yet. Everything else seems to be fine. Have been able to send an invoice out, make a bid, place another item for auction, an my item which has ended has moved down to the sold section.
