eBay we have seen a couple of threads on AW praising eBays improvement
to the timeliness of search updates. Ebay was down for approximately
2
hours on Sat morning. No extensions were given, but anyone who
feels
their auctions were adversely impacted should request refunds of final
value fees. http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/finalfee.html They
also had what they called a network issue at 11:17 left coast time, that
lasted about 20 minutes. Then at around 14:00 PT the Gallery went down
for 11 hours. Anyone who received a message that your Gallery image is
not appearing, you need to re-enter your image URL information.

Finally they report that the hot backup system, what they call their
high-availability system is now in place and has been fully operational
for the past seven days. The outage on Saturday forced a failover
(new
term? eBay speak?) to the high-availability system. They consider the
failover successful, as they feel the system dramatically improved
their recovery time from the outage. eBay thinks that as they
gain
more experience with the new system, they expect recovery times to
continue to improve. eBay will provide a detailed information
on the
system in next months Tech update. Will this system guarantee
that no
outage will be longer than 2 hours and 59 minutes?

Amazon continues to have problems with disappearing auctions that donÕt
Seem to take, when listed, and then need to be relisted. There
appear
to Also be ongoing problems with auctions actually showing up in search.
Rather Than the 1 hour promised, it can take up to several hours for an
auction to show.
