This is horrible! In the past, Ebay's scheduled maintenance lasted until 5AM PST (8AM Eastern time). This was OK (and just OK) because people start to wake up and look at ebay just as their having breakfast or going to work..... Now it is unavailable until 10AM EASTERN TIME! Not good.

Hello Zshops,
This extended downtime is for some special maintenance eBay is performing. The outage was announced on the eBay Announcement board well in advance. In addition, eBay decided to extend auctions for 24 hours that would be affected by the extended outage.
You haven't missed anything other than your morning browse through the auctions which you can hopefully can do at some other point in the day.
