ebaY continues to have problems with intermittent problems. On
8 Sep 03:29:00 PT ebaY reported that completed search was
unavailable. This prevented users from viewing their recently
closed auctions, making it impossible for them to get the
information to contact their bidders. My ebaY was reported at
8 Sep 03:51:53 PT as being intermittently available. ebaY later
reported that both completed search and My ebaY were down
from 03:00 PT until 04:20 PT. Users continued to report on the
OAI boards that the problems had not gone away, including problems
with relisting, the deadbeat claims page, cgi5 and 6. At
09:36:25 PT ebaY reported that ebaY bidder search, My ebaY, and
the feedback forum were not working between 06:00 PT and 09:15 PT.   
Users reported the problems resolved at 11:45 PT 8 Sep. On 8 Sep at
19:45:03 PT users reported Connection Reset By Peer messages,
and list, search and view items down. At 07:02:26 PT Mister
Lister stopped working and was reported by ebaY at 18:59:17 PT.
ebaY reported these fixed at 17:31:59 on 9 Sep. At 10:22:18 PT
on 9 Sep, Users reported reset messages and cgi 5 and 6 were down,
preventing bidding on items. Service was restored by 10:43. At
11:21:29 users reported that cgi2 and 3 were down again. This
outage only lasted a few minutes.

the changes we will be implementing:

There are problems with Billpoint and Non US buyers. The Instant
Purchase feature is only available to U.S. buyers. If a seller listed
an item with Instant Purchase and wishes to sell it to a non-U.S.
buyer, they have to cancel the Instant Purchase invoice and reissue
another standard Billpoint invoice. Some buyers are having this
looping problem, even after the seller sends a traditional Billpoint
invoice. ebaY is aware of and are working on this re-occurring
glitch.

ebaYs is implementing its new special features during Sep. The
features are Highlight, Featured Plus! and Feature in Search.
For more information on these changes to the optional seller
features, go to URL: http://pages.ebay.com/preview/seller.html.

Approx 5.1 million current listing
Differences between the MedVed numbers and ebaYs number are
approaching 100,000 listings - a very large discrepancy.
