content: Copied from another site:========Rumour has it that Ebay are currently waiting for a Hazmat team to re-enter the Server room. While under-going routing maintenance one of the techs, tripped over the big red network-cable causing a full scale outage. Normally this would be easy to repair (plug it back in and reboot), However when the tech (who shall remain nameless to protect his identity) realised his mistake, the catastrophic release of gas from his behind, triggered a full scale evacuation, on health and safety ground.

content: Yep, this might cost some sellers a lot of money. Even if they postpone the end of the auctions by a few hours, many people use automated systems that will bid at a set time, so they will probably get much fewer bids than usual.

content: You might like to bookmark this useful site:http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/Each URL they monitor has a user comments thread too. It was very comical yesterday watching so many ebay users around the world freak out.Even more comical since I'd just been freaking out myself, before finding it was down for everyone.For the last week I've been having some ebay dramas related to adopting a US re-shipper address as my primary, and the email exchanges involved some swearing at ebay's annoying micromanaging of everything. For a few minutes I thought I'd been banned from ebay or something.

content: Had to comment when I saw this thread. A few days ago I couldn't connect to google.com. Unfortunately at the time I didn't try any other domains. External "is it up" sites said google.com was down too. I honestly would probably believe it was a double false negative. =SQuote from: TerraHertz on August 24, 2013, 07:05:53 amIronically when I saw this thread the site you said would be useful is down.... granted there are hundreds of these types of sites so it didn't matter. Just funny.

content: Maybe there is therapy or a sort of AA for Ebay addicted readers, (the EE ;-) ) so in case this happens again they can seek help
