It's been a half hour. This is getting pretty old. If I wanted my auctions to end at 7:30 instead of 6:45, I'd have chosen that time.

FYI - the delay tonight for 45 auctions listed at 7 pm was 1 hour and 20 minutes, they just finished launching at 8:20 pm.
An announcement about this was posted in the announcements forum. Here is a copy of it for your convenience:
1 June 8pm. eBay continues to troubleshoot the saturated hardware on their end. Unfortunately this means our launch latency on busy Sunday's suffers. We continue to alert eBay to this situation and they are responding to our alerts.
--------
As some customers have reported, launches to eBay are sometimes delayed during peak launch times [usually 6pm through 9pm PDT].
Recent changes to eBay's API infrastructure and request routing triggered some new bottlenecks. eBay is aware of the bottlenecks and is in the process of correcting this issue. We continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates to you as soon as we have progress to report.
Thanks for your patience. The changes that eBay have deployed are indeed improvements and should improve overall reliability over time.
