Hello fellow eBayers
I am frustrated, annoyed, and just plain upset with the recent Photo Point Outage. This is the second time in 4 months this has happened. Are they Gone for good? Does anyone know? Please, let me know what you know

It's looking more and more like they are gone forever....read ebay's forum "Photo" message board - plenty of people have posted what they know there...

i would like to make a suggestion:
I've switched to BAYPAL (www.baypal.com).
It's $5. a month and their record is excellent.
Yesterday, their system went down. When you went to their site, there was a message stating "OUR DATABASE IS DOWN. WE ARE AWARE THAT TODAY IS FREE LISTING DAY AND WE HAVE EVERY BUTT WORKING ON THIS. PHOTOS CURRENTLY ON OUR SYSTEM ARE NOT AFFECTED. WE WILL HAVE THIS BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE".
So, it was only affecting the upload of new files, but all files already uploaded were OK. AND, they had the problem resolved in less than one hour! Pretty good, considering some of our other experiences with other photo hosting services!
