...so goes eBay. Since Wednesday's crash, my auctions haven't gotten ONE bid. None. Zip. Nada. Anyone else see a correlation?

I agree!!! I have 108 auctions running and only eight have bids. This is way below the norm. Usually 40 - 50 would have bids by now.

ALL my auctions were closing during the outage time but those that got in bid higher than I expected. Guess mine are bucking the trend or have their money stashed in fruit jars under the house.

No last minute bids for my auctions that closed tonight. Those are getting hard to come by.

DEFINITELY!

I have 240 auctions up right now and only 25 have bids. That's only 10%!! The weeks prior to ebay's problems my auctions were great, I was very happy with the results. But since ebay's problems for this past week my auctions are doing AWFUL!

NOT very happy with Fee-bay right now!

The least they could do is offer to refund all our fees without having us beg for it!

Even...some listers items are showing up on the closing pages. Others are not. There seems to be no pattern. But I've gotten nailed two Sundays in a row now with valishing listings during closing times.

I don't know what you folks are selling, but I had 68 auctions end tonight (I know, I'm a masochist for remaining loyal to Sunday a.k.a. brownout-night closings).

Sixty-eight 7-day auctions got a total of 306 bids (not including those retracted as detailed in a previous thread). Fifty-five items sold, or an 80.8% sell rate. All but one or two will sell next week on the second pass.

Not like last year, but definitely respectible. And TONS better than Yahoo, where my sell rate's running at about 10%.

Same thing here.Items that typically do well
NADA.Nothing.

I had a good piece end tonight just short of the reserve and no bids for 2 days.

Looking at some of the competition same thing for them too.

This is getting tough.I do have some items that are doing great.But suprised on the others.

Tools are doing good. Especially the more expensive items.

It is probably due to over saturation.

Too much of the same or like item from many sellers. It is a growing trend.

Try using specialized or niche auction sites if your sales are low on Fee-Bay.
