eBay is going molasses slow every time I do a search on it, and many items are timing out (for instance, I can't get to the "My eBay" page). I know that the problem is not with my ISP because every other web site I visit is responding normally.
Am I the only one who is experiencing this? Or, is it just a regional thing (I live in California. Ironically enough, probably only 25 miles from eBay's headquarters)?

I went to look at my auctions and the same auction was showing on 2 pages. I thought I had listed it twice. I checked and it was the same auction number on both pages. Now when I go back it is only listed on one page.

I have had a problem for over a month now as my seller's list periodically reverts to 00 hours and it shows the auctions as closed.
But when anyone clicks on one of my auctions from the list it will show the exact time left in the auctions such as 35 minutes. But when they try to bid their bid is refused because they are told the auction is closed even though it isn't.
This has been reported to ebay several times and they say they are aware of the problem and are working on it (I'm not the only one with the problem) but now I'm afraid to list anything good. I may be losing money because most people wait until the end to bid.
I am wondering if I should try listing under another one of my IDs to see if it happens there also. Has anyone else had this problem or had a problem bidding?

HI,
I live in Colorado and cannot get to MY EBay page directly either. It times out when I try. I have to go to the Ebay home page, then to My Ebay then to All. Really a time waster.
I've not had that problem. I would definitely at least try selling under one of your other ID's. It doesn't sound like it could possibly be worse than your present situation....

Tonight everything seemed back to normal for my auctions but then I wasn't selling anything special.
Some of ebay's problems are addressed in the link below and it's reassuring in some ways for a buyer or seller to know that they aren't the only ones that have these things happening to them. Sometimes after a busy day one tends to think they are losing their mind when they "see" something weird on their auctions and then click back and it's all normal again.
