I just tried to search completed auctions and got a black page with "URL not found". I tried a couple of categories just to be sure.
Anyone else get the same thing?

Noticed that myself and went over to the eBay boards. Found out you can check all completed auctions in Advanced Search (finally located where they were talking about and it's easy).
Just click on SEARCH tab and then click on ADVANCED SEARCH tab. Put in the info you are searching, and then there is a box to check off if you are looking for COMPLETED AUCTIONS.

Am I just being ultra-paranoid, or does this look fishy to anyone else? The black Zeus web-host page is just weird to me, never having seen it before, and when you click on their "return to search" link, it (the URL)doesn't match the one that I get when I click on the ebay search link.
With all the spoof stuff out there right now, it could just be me being a ninny, of course.

The black backgroup is very odd but there can be no way it is a trojan virus or anything even remotely nefarious.
One of the biggest problems that ebay has had since Day One is the search function. With almost ten million current auctions and six million ebay stores items plus the completed items for the last ten to fifteen days that adds up to a lot of items to be searched.

eBay is in the process of using different servers for the various eBay functions. Looks like their distribution of resources was not planned out well - like many of the "improvements" they implement.
