As of 14:49 eastern time, I am unable to acces ANY Ebay page whatsoever. All I get is a "Website not responding due to a busy or broken server." This is repeatable. Anyone else out there having the same experience? I'd check Ebay's announcement board but can't get to it.

Same thing here in Central California. The broken server message is all I can get.

Nope, not my intention at all, sorry about that. Still down here in Florida, can't access anything. Have checked all systems on my end and all is functioning fine. Gotta be on their end.

Sparkz sez Central Californai is out too, so unless someone's been moving states around it can't just be an east coast thing. ;^)

As much as I would like to read about Meg's knicker (umm, NOT!) I can't read it 'cause it's on an Ebay page. etc., etc.... No access. Tried using IE on it's own and still the same.

From Tom's link
[b]From August 21 through September 4, we are testing simplified versions of our Home Page to better understand the needs of our users. A portion of non-registered visitors to the Home Page will see this test. Our objective is to see if a fast, simple, and educational focused Home Page would provide a better experience for new users. The normal Home Page is still available.
We are continually striving for ways to better understand the needs of our Community. If you have feedback regarding this page, please email us at [email protected]*. We appreciate your patience during this short experiment.[/b]
You think them messing with the home page would do an entire site outage? At least I mean in some areas?

Could be. Wouldn't be the first time a supposed improvement meant an outage. Pfah.

Gee, ya mean I'm NOT the only Paypal customer that can't get payment notification emails? Rats, now I'm not special any more. Boo-hoo. :^)

The PITA new possible front page has been there for weeks - it has nothing yo do with the outage. New page is ugly, not Safari compatible and sells NOTHING! I would run and run fast from that page.
