Wow, this is becoming habitual. Just like the old days. Makes you want to cry. Without the last three minutes, it's not an auction sale.

I think I'm going to cry. I've got an item ending shortly that's at 1/4 of what the same item went for a month ago, 6 people bidding and who knows how many watching. AARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

This outage stuff is much much worse since the advent of the Watch Feature. WHY?! Because it is like a live auction firm saying no problem Mr. Bidder....you do not want to leave an absentee [proxy] bid...OK, just use our Watch Feature and we will call you up an hour before the auction closes and you can come over here and bid on it. Then what? Then the auction Staff locks the freaking door and the Watcher who did not place an absentee bid cannot get in the door to bid.
In real life a Seller would be able to void the sale. Look at the Butterfield Site. If my memory serves they reserve the right to void a sale in just such an event. I do believe that the Sellers here need to copy that verbiage and do the same.
hmm....maybe a thread devoted to it......get a swell/momentum going

This is terrible !!!
** Our Site Is Temporarily Unavailable **
(item search)
Sorry. That Web site is not accepting requests.
(announcement board)
We're all wondering what is happening to sales..
I'm a buyer too and I am disgusted with trying to reach items I was interested in bidding on.. only to get excuses !!
I can EASILY understand why bidding is WAY down on a site that is habitually DOWN.
How many times has this happened this week now??

Was just this moment 18:20 able to access my seller's list (what a surprise, no new bids!), so maybe it is coming back up now, or the hot back up system is kicking in.

This is getting to be a real pain in the a$$ for people listing, bidding, watching, relisting and so on.
When is ebay going to fix this once and for all? We need to find answers.
