------------------------------------
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
http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?

%20I%20receive%20credit%20for%20insertion%20fees%3F%20
(cut and paste to url field in browser in pieces)
Send -
* The item number(s) of the ended auction(s)
* The specific fee(s) charged for them
* Your seller's email address or User ID
* The phrase, GIVE CREDIT in the Subject line or first line of message

Thanks for posting this. Was just about to come here and rant about an item I have listed in the sports section. I went to "My eBay" and under my sellers section it has "sport is currently unavailable" and that my auction is "ended". I thought eBay ended my auction early! I was near livid! Will see what happens and how long maintenance takes. ARG!

We're taking applications now for the upcoming year! Anyone want to get onboard for more Corporate Welfare? I love paying for something and getting the opportunity to complain elsewhere. Thanks Rosalinda for posting this "business as usual" outage at ebay!
