There was a problem with an eBay internal system or process

1860ng · Guest

I sent an e-mail, but probably should have started by sending here. This was the error that hit me yesterday with an item I was after (235604745103). The email that I received stated \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY\". I have talked to the seller and he was not involved in any early termination of the auction.

Has anyone seen this message and is it a problem with eBay, Gixen or something I did?

So, the status on the web interface is \"There was a problem with an eBay internal system or process\" but the one reported in the email for the same auction is \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY\" ?

Certainly the first is on the Ebay side, and is apparently quite rare, but I've seen a few myself recently (usually just on one server), so perhaps the Ebay infrastructure has become a bit less robust lately ?

This is still a very rare occurrence. I know it may not look that way when it happens to you, but it is rare.
