I certainly have no idea if this has a thing to do with the eBay outages, since eBay is always having outages, but I am sure the influx of disgruntled Yahoo Sellers who are returning to eBay, is definitely putting a strain on the faulty eBay system! Just a thought.
Personally, I am staying off eBay till the system stabilizes somewhat, and I may not post much, even after that on eBay -
Since Yahoo starts charging on the 10th, like many Yahoo sellers, I am testing many other sites as an alternative to the wonderful sales situation we had at Yahoo. I don't want to run back to eBay, as I went to Yahoo to escape the endless Greedbay charges, rules changes and outages.
It was a good ride on Yahoo while it lasted...off to find other sites.
Back to the eBay outages, if you check the Yahoo board you will see many are returning to Greedbay, which I am sure is stressing the unstable eBay system.

Think about the categories that are not working: "Books, Movies, and Music"
Think Half.com
First banners and links, and now ???????
Integrated listings perhaps ?
Ebay's second step into the "fixed-price" format. (step one being the BIN feature)
Let me look into my crystal ball and see what the future holds...
You do a search for "Harry Potter" on Ebay. The results have current Ebay auctions listed first, then an inventory with prices of what is available on Half.com. Sucks don't it.
