I don't know if the worm is the reason, but I have had very few bids on my auctions since news about its spread hit the airwaves.

I really don't think that is the reason but I think the reason might be, getting children ready for school. Some open in the end of August and then some after Labor day. I found this time to be rather slow.

I think it could be just a small blip, I know my mother in law's computer is infected, and it keeps shutting down. She wouldn't bid online, but it could have an affect. I heard that the Maryland DMV was shut down, imagine how many state employees who use worktime to bid on ebay are now not bidding!

Wow, I feel lucky. My boyfriend said that since our cable Internet has a router, our chances of getting the worm were low. Taking no chances, I downloaded the patch. These people really need to get a life or at least put their cunning to better use.
