Reading AuctionBytes: EBay's Technical Woes Continue

Ebay was not available last evening from 16:51 PST - 17:32 PST and 9:15 PST - 9:35 PST. Item pages and Category listings were also intermittently unavailable. Ebay had been taken down for over 30 minutes on Sunday morning for preventative maintenance. EBay also scheduled a preventative maintenance from 01:30 PST to 03:30 PST Monday morning. Listing credits will not be given for auctions ending during these outages.

Aside from searching problems, there have also been numerous reports of site slowness by cable internet users. No explanation has been given for the slow access, but router problems somewhere in the Exodus systems appear to be the culprit.For more information on eBay's status: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml
