So it'll be down for an hour after midnight/ Hell, half the system isn't working now!
WhyTF don't they stop Fn with the system and changing things and just let us sell things at auction?

Like I once said: eBay ought to be allowed one day per month to totally shut down the entire system for extensive repairs. This would be along with their usual scheduled maintainance.
The last time that I suggested this idea, so many Sellers posted negatively to the idea that one-single-day per month be allowed so that the rest of the month can go as scheduled, it's no wonder that eBay is forced into unscheduled maintainaces.
Whether you like it or not, any computer system has to have scheduled downtime or else the system's users will be forced to unscheduled shut-downs.
