7 Feb - Personal Shopper email is not working as of 06:50AM PT 7 Feb - No word yet as to when eBay expects it to be functioning again.

8 Feb - eBay, at 1520 PT 8 Feb, lost some page functions, including search which was patched by access through http://listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/list. Reports on the auction industry chat boards reported that the outage was much more catastrophic than what eBay was saying. By 1630 this turned into a full blown external ³denial of service² attack. Though eBay claimed that this was not a compromise of data, it did impact site accessibility. They felt " a good majority" of their users, still had access. By 1900, most functions were restored, though there were continuing problems with eBays pic servers, causing pages to not download. By 2020 PT the pic servers were back online, though more reports of intermittent outages continue to be discussed on the chat boards, the latest outage reported at 2145 PT.

If your auction ended between 1600 and 2200 tonight and you feel it was affected by the outages, TAG strongly recommends you request credit by writing to bill-@e... with the item number(s) of your affected auction(s) and the reason for your credit request. An article on the eBay attack can be found at http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-200-1545348.html

14 Feb - eBay was down for a short time tonight from approx 20:22 PT 14 Feb to approx 20:40 PT according to the postings on the chat boards (though eBay claims 20:29 PT).
