Very quiet day again today and when I checked the down detector, the whole of the U.K is under a massive red dot

I don't know what it's based on, or even if it's accurate, but every day the uk is either covered in orange or red

People are now saying that they are contacting Watchdog to complain.

    I'd been having some fairly good days, but after a late sale yesterday at about 10.30pm I had absolutely no more until about an hour ago. A full shop, lots of MVLs and one sale all day!

    Also I've been trying to list and the pages couldn't run any slower without actually stopping.

    I've been trying to buy a couple of things today, I was browsing and persistently getting 'the page you are looking for does not exist' - especially when clicking to check a seller's feedback or other items for sale. Gave up and went to Amazon I'm afraid :(

    Down Dector monitors Facebook and Twitter to see who is complaining about what. It also takes reports direct. It is usually quick to pick up on problems but slow to pick up on when things are sorted

    Just checked, and again the whole of the U.K. Is covered by a big orange dot

    Don't know what's going on, but eBay seem to be having serious problems. Numerous glitches and a useless search engine, I fear it's going to completely collapse

    Bet if I phone CS I'll be told I'm the only one having problems, and to clear my cookies.

    I made one more sale yesterday evening but to the US and within 20 minutes of me listing the item, so perhaps the US can see us but not other UK buyers?

    As I ship next day I have to trudge all the way to the PO just for 2 measly packages today.

    I did have one result yesterday though, but on Facebook where traditionally I do poorly. I actually had someone pay by bank transfer for an item which I posted yesterday, and then, and this was a shock, someone actually turned up to collect something exactly at the time stated. It is unheard of for someone to actually turn up and not have car issues, child issues or just completely ignore me! So 2 Facebook sales yesterday, no fees no real hassle and 2 ebay sales for which I pay a shop subscription, PayPal and ebay fees.

    That explains another extremely quiet night where my Amazon sales have far outstripped eBay sales. :(

    I checked both Facebook and Twitter and there isn't a negative comment in sight. Are they being removed ?

    Sorry, what is this Ebay Down Detector stuff? I've never heard of it.

    Currently I'm clearing through 20 years of hording!! Moving house. I've listed 40 items and I'm really surprised at how low the lack of 'views' are. So far - I'm into the 5th day of listing - 7 day auction and only 4 items will definitely sell. The prices are really low too.

    Ebay is running absolutely awfully at the moment in every way and nobody's even looking at my stuff never mind buying it.


    Never mind, if our sales are suffering due to their rubbish system maybe they'll refund some of our fees....Whoops! Just slipped into a dreamworld there!

    You would hope so, but eBay as usual has buried it's head in the sand and think it's actually a good time to INCREASE their prices :mad:
