Yes, when ebay has a lot of outage problems, it's typical of a seller to put that in there, because they don't get credit for auctions if the outage is under 2 hours. They also feel that most bidding occurs during the last few minutes and by letting the auction run to duration, they lose out during outages.
Hope this makes sense. I don't bid on those auctions.
