eBay had problems with their Category listing pages on 5 Apr reported
at 21:58PT. This impacted current, new today, ending today and
going going gone sections. It delayed updates for several hours
after it was reported fixed at 23:28 PT. It did not impact title
search.
eBay has ended the home page survey, but if you have comments
email them with € '³Home Page€ '´ in the subject line to
online-@e... Preview page can be found at
http://www.ebay.com/homepage/index.html
eBay conducted regularly scheduled maintenance on Fri 7 Apr
between 01:00 PT and 05:00 PT
Along with other intermittent problems and slow downs over the
last week, the eBay fraud prevention and insurance claim filing
system was available only intermittently during the past two days.
As of 17:39 on 6 Apr it was completely unavailable. If you tried
to file a fraud prevention or insurance form and were unable to,
submit your claim when the form is again available. If your auction
ended 60 days before the time the claim form was down (Tuesday,
4 Apr until they notify you that it is back up) you will not be able
to use the online form even after the fraud form becomes available.
Users in this situation need to contact safeh-@e... for
filing instructions.
eBay went down completely for a reported four minutes at approx
14:55 PT. There is no comment about it on the boards, but one of
our writers was doing listings at the time, and said it was more like
15 minutes that they couldn't get in.
At 06:59 on 7 Apr the category listing pages for the eBay Canada
site went down. They were reported at 08:53 to be back up at 07:40PT.
Other areas of the site were working properly. At 11:27 PT 7 Apr,
eBay announced that the new version of the eBay Canada site was up.
