Hello,
I'm an international seller. Luckily, I have never had too many deadbeats. Suprisingly enough, three buyers of mine haven't been contacting me since last Saturday. I am used to my buyers contacting me pretty fast, so I wonder if there's a holiday season in the States, which should explain that all.

There have been some devastating floods and tornadoes, so depending on where your high bidders are, that might be the problem.

We don't have holidays in the US - however ebay frequently has self-imposed holidays because frequently the site just plain does not work - like right now (Friday eve).
Investors have not driven the stock down like most other Internet stocks because ebay still has the lion's share of the marketplace, which is very sad based on ebay's evident lack of technical prowess as represented by their frequent outages.
