 |
|
Something seems to be going on with eBay servers since 1.30am PDT.
Many snipes are failing. I am still not sure what is wrong - but can't access ebay servers from home either. eBay.com seems to be down at the moment. |

I can still see eBay.com from the United Kingdom... I think they must have messed up some US servers if you still can not.
Can you see ebay.co.uk from where you are?

Unfortunately not, it's all down from here. This is extremely weird.
And both servers are also apparently timing out on signin to eBay. |

Yes here is a cut and paste:
***Multiple Site issues - Resolved***
March 28, 2008 | 09:16PM PST/PT
Earlier this evening the eBay site was experiencing multiple issues. Members may have seen Feedback reminder notes in the Won section of My eBay; items that did not get relisted, Page Not Responding errors and possibly other issues. These issues have now been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

***Multiple Site issues***

The eBay site is currently experiencing multiple issues. Earlier, members may have seen Feedback reminder notes in the Won section of My eBay. This issue has been resolved. However, items relisted in the last hour or so may appear to have not been relisted, and Page Not Responding errors may also be occurring. Some members may experience other issues as well. Please rest assured that we are working to completely resolve these issues as quickly as possible, and we greatly appreciate your patience while we do so.

Hi,
I'm from Australia and I missed 2 of my snipes already. Does it have anything to do with the daylight savings? It is ending on the first week of April here instead of the last week of March.
I'm sure things will be fixed soon enough. But ya, just thought it might be one of the causes. *shrug*
Thanks!
Will |

mealzonwillz,
We had our change over to British Summer Time this weekend with no affect that I noticed. Gixen works on PST (I think) which doesn't have these switches, so it shouldn't have time related issues when we change our times.

I've been looking at the forums on eBay.com, and I can't see anyone reporting problems their either... however obviously those that can't access eBay can't report problems.
Are there any other places, outside eBay, where problems like this tend to get reported?

The issues are gone now (on their own) - I am not sure what was going on, but ebay was definitely not accessible from either of Gixen's servers, nor could I access it from home.
I expect they will make at least some announcement about it today.
I apologize to affected users, there was nothing I could do about this. |

An April 1st wind up?
Do you have April Fools day over there?
