eBay buyers trying to pay with PayPal through the eBay Checkout process encountered error messages for about 45 minutes on Monday morning. According to an announcement on the eBay System Announcements Board, "From 9:21AM PT to 10:06AM PT buyers may have received "function is temporarily unavailable" errors when attempting to pay for an eBay listing with PayPal through the eBay Checkout process. (This did not impact payments made directly from PayPal.)" (http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200610231035031.html)
The technical glitch came 2 days after technical problems on eBay Live Auctions caused "intermitttent slowness and errors" on bidding activity on Saturday (http://blog.auctionbytes.com/cgi-bin/blog/blog.pl?/pl/2006/10/1161565704.html). In addition, eBay's Community Forums, including Discussion boards, the Answer Center, and eBay Groups, were unavailable for a short time on Saturday.
