It's 1:47 est in New York and no ebay , has it been down since 10:00 am? What gives daylight savings time or a new moon? No www.ebay.com or myebay? There goes their stock along with IBM.

I was able to access my Seller's Auctions through a post in the eBay forums. When I clicked on the auction, it showed up.

So remember what eBay always says, "Your bidder can find your auction when they enter the auction number in search." Heh-heh !

www.ebay.co.uk seems to be working at the time of this posting. Just placed some feedback and my ebay is working.

ddeva... Don't get me started... eBay has purhaps some of the worst coded web pages on the net. There literally is 70 - 80% wasted tags and tables... If you ever wonder why ebay is slow... One of the first things you learn in computer science... GIGO Garbage In, Garbage Out. The templates they use are terrible.. I will get off my soapbox... But the site is held together by Duct Tape... Works great for MacGuyver, but still concerns me when I make a chunk of change on it and know that it is shaky at best

DOWN AGAIN here in San Jose. Can't get to individual auction pages.

And on my seller list: "Cloth and Jewelry items are currently unavailable"

This could be very, very bad.

It's back now.

I'm having intermittent chest pains...eBay is not helping.

Bid on two auctions, received bid notice via e-mail, tried to check auctions a little later and they show up as invalid auction number. When I click on ANY auction in clothing it shows invalid. What's up? Or rather, what's down?

It was down today in Ohio. Back up now and getting faster. And here I was yelling at the kids for slowing it down with their online games!

Hi

The word from the founder of Ebay is that some Pez Terrorists were hacking in to the system.

They said that they sat on the sidelines long enough. They said that Ebay started out with only Pez dispensers and that is how they want it to remain. Very purist fundamentalist Pez group.

Anyway, they had a deal that if Ebay went back to the Pez containers only that they would not destroy the system. The founder said "No Way" to these mean, mealy SOB's and the rest is history and we have seen it.

We will not cave in to Pez Fundamentalists.
Raise the Ebay flag high!

JJ
