Well, patience is not my strong point, I had an auction that had doubled in price and now that things are sort of woking at e-bay clothing, the bid is gone and I can not check the bid history message "sorry this service not availible at this time" So did my bidder get mad due to ebay problems? And my auctions that will now close tomorrow, I might as well be giving them away. I wonder how much money we all lost, Ok e-bay lost a little too, but hey with there fees they can afford to lose a day can we?

"and now that things are sort of woking at e-bay clothing"
My clothing auctions are not working AT ALL! If it is a clothing category item, I would wait and see because maybe if you were able to look at it it is OLD information and your bidds are still there. I have 100 auctions and they can not be seen.

It a pair of shoes, got there through AW control panel, but shows as closed (error) on My ebay. I hope you are right about it being an outdated page and bids are there, I was surprised I had doubled my money, now I want my little tiny bit of money back!

AW is WRONG! At least mine is.
My AW control panel is still showing my numbers that I had the last time I refreshed my control panel which was last evening. I had about 10 bids after that and they are not on my AW items. So unless I have 10 bid cancelations - I would say it's old info.
Thing about it. How could AW get to ebay servers if ebay can't get to ebay servers.
You should be fine. Wait til ebay is back up and running then check it out.

Back to my tiny auction, Today it shows one bid, checked history there are 2, no cancelations listed so frustrated. Like I said it is a small item but it had doubled with that one last bid, should I e-mail the bidders or wait, it ends in 2 days?
Thanks for your advise.

What a nightmare this eBay glitch has caused!! Yesterday I bid on an auction for a Spring jacket for my granddaughter; the auction disappeared (invalid auction #).Kept checking to see if it would show up on "My eBay" and bidder search, but nothing. Today I bid on two more jackets and it looked like I would win both auctions when lo and behold, they disappeared (invalid auction #). Kept checking and nothing. Later I tried again and both auctions were completely gone as time was up. Waited a few hours and bid on another jacket and this one went through and I won.
Guess what. Received a congratulatory letter from one of the first auctions that disappeared and when I checked "My eBay" they are all there now. Can't take this out on the seller(s) because it was eBay's problem so I will honor all bids. Anyone need a size 24 months Spring jacket for a girl? I think I'll end up with 3 or 4.
