eBay isn't working. Just thought I'd pass that along for anyone else who was wondering what was going on today. It seems that eBay started having problems this morning (Saturday) and it has continued through the day. Personally, I did not have any problems until late afternoon.
People have been tweeting about it and talking about it on the discussion boards today. You may have seen it mentioned.
I haven't been able to find any kind of updates yet about what will happen to the the buyers and sellers who were affected by the site not working correctly. I would imagine it could be a bit of a mess. It just so happens that I did NOT have anything ending today, but a LOT of people did. Weekends are a very popular time to end auctions since so many people are off from work and able to do some shopping. This weekend is an especially unfortunate one for this to happen as many people are just starting to get in to the holiday shopping mode.
In all fairness, I've got to say that there have been very few problems with the site in the past when I've used it for listing. It has been one of the more consistent sites I've dealt with for limiting downtime. I'd say just stay patient. It is definitely in eBay's best interest to get things up and running again as quickly as possible. They no doubt have all available resources working on getting things back to normal.
So, if you are a returning visitor, sorry, but that is about all I was able to find out right now. I would expect that there will be a message sent to users once things are straightened out. If I find out anything new I'll post it here.
