*** SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DOWNTIME ***
The eBay site will be unavailable from 00:01 PST to 00:30 PST on Saturday, November 18 while we perform maintenance on the system.
During this time we will be backing out some system changes made during Friday morning's regularly scheduled outage window. The changes in question are not visible to our community, but also have not had the desired effect.
We apologize for the necessary inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
-----------------------------------
If you have auctions ending then, you might want to end them early and ask for credit. The last two times ebaY did this the downtimes were relatively short 15-20 minutes. Cancel any bids first. Vrane.Com has a great tool for doing this called an auction bomb
Ask for credit by going to the refund form . Request listing, special feature and Final Value Fees. Go to the form at

* Your seller's email address or User ID
* The phrase, GIVE CREDIT in the Subject line or first line of message

Now this is cute -
** Our Site Is Temporarily Unavailable Due To Scheduled Maintenance **
We are sorry, but our site is temporarily unavailable due to weekly scheduled maintenance between
01:00 Pacific Time and 03:00 Pacific Time on Friday mornings.
The purpose of these scheduled maintenance downtimes is to make improvements to the system,
such as adding new hardware or making changes in software to offer new features. During
scheduled maintenance, we try to make improvements as quickly and as safely as possible.
Please check the Announcement Board at http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml for updates.
