Maybe I don't have enough experience to guage the impact of the outages on my sales, or even tell if there's been any, but I have to say that the bidders seem to be working around it by using the proxy bidding system and bidding ahead of the peak times. I've noticed a definite trend over the last couple weeks, since the system has started going down during my usual closing times. Bids are back up, and are placed early, rather then the sniping to which I'd grown accustomed.
