Is eBay DOWN?

Looks like it could be. Is it slowing down and timing out for anyone else?

    Wow, I think it actually is down. I can't load My eBay or auction pages at all. This could have far reaching implications to say the least.

    Oh the perfidy. Guess there are far more constructive things to do than linger about fleeceBay.

    Search category function is NOT working for me. Oh well, glad I don't have auctions over today. And no buying coins for me since their search function is NOT working! If I had auctions over today I'd be seriously pizzed.

    You are correct, Sir!

    "pcgs Morgan" returns 0 results... and takes a while to do it.
  • Yeah, Coins and Paper Money is down; I can get onto My eBay, but can't see anything else.

  • Still down for me... ebay used to credit sellers when their system went down, I don't know what they do now.

    It's been down over an hour for me. I'm glad I don't have anything ending soon image
  • I wonder if snipe bids still work.

    I can get to an auction from my watch list, but that's it.

    Lotta sellers gonna be upset.

  • I won a silver bullion auction about an hour ago for less than spot including shipping (via a snipe bid). In my entire history on ebay I have only won silver at less than spot once before and never within the last two years. I think the lack of search readiness cost the seller in this case about $20.

    You can't pull items with under 12 hours left though. You can only cancel bids. But what if I cancel all the bids and someone wins it for 99 cents

    Due to errors in some of our backend systems, members may be seeing different errors in Search. This could be that "We were unable to run the search results you entered. Please try again in a few minutes" or a blank page, or simply the browser being unable to display the page.
    As a workaround - if you use the Advanced Search option at the top of the page, and type in your search query and click the title and description box and then run the search, the results for the title and description search will be returned. Likewise, if you receive a 0 results page for title search and choose the title and description box and re-run the search, you'll see the appropriate results.

    This is also affecting the ability to access eBay Stores through search directly, and sometimes from the store URL.

    Please note that we are working as quickly as possible to get this resolved. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to resolve this.

    go to the advanced search - run it -
    search will work if after your 0 result
    you hit the titles and description button and run again


    - but then you get all the SPAM listings and extra junk
  • lavalava Posts: 3,286 ✭✭✭
    I wonder if it is down for people who are drunk?
    I brake for ear bars.
  • Looks like another day to lose sales...
  • BoomBoom Posts: 10,165
    Do a "work-around". Favorite sellers can still be accessed. Favorite searches currently can not!

    Click on the favorite seller's ID as though you want to see his or her feedback profile.

    Off to the left, if pictures of current listings are NOT viewable, you have no access to listings that way.

    If you've won or purchased an item recently the "view seller's other listings" link MAY NOT WORK
    but if you've got an item on your watch list or have bid on it, IT WILL work FOR THAT LISTING.

    Just remember - for now, that the Favorite sellers search does still work!

    Tinker around & you'll find a way. If you have a coin on your watch list or have already placed bids,
    you can still access the coins.

    Don't despair sellers. Bidders can still get to your listings using the aforementioned.

    I just raised bids on coins I am bidding on by using both methods. It takes a little effort but can be done.

    Good Luck!

    At 7:15 PM EST the search function was still not working for me.

    I'm glad I have no activity on eBay at this time.
    All glory is fleeting.
  • BoomBoom Posts: 10,165
    Well - using Saved Sellers now is not functioning either.

    When clicking on a seller's ID, to view feedback, the Items for Sale link

    now shows, "This seller currently has no items for sale".

    At this point the ONLY way to access a seller's wares is if

    1) you have a certain coins on your watch list or
    2) you've previously bid on a coin being offered.

    I can not search eBay right now. I am SURE glad I didn't have any auctions ending tonight, I wold be TICKED!
  • coin22lovercoin22lover Posts: 3,542 ✭✭✭
    I can honestly see their stock plummeting Monday.

  • I thought it was my computer too! Was trying to buy some CC Morgan's today and it died!

    I finally gave up after 2 or 3 tries. Guess it's Teletrade tomorrow!
  • KozmanKozman Posts: 275 ✭✭
    7:52 PM and search is still downimage
  • habaracahabaraca Posts: 2,049 ✭✭✭✭✭
    But Kozman it is only 7:08 ct
  • BoomBoom Posts: 10,165
    I found a way.

    No guarantees though but it's working right now - for me!

    Forget the saved searches.

    Enter what you want in the search bar, check the box that states "Includes titles & descriptions"

    whatever - the box under where you write in what you want to search for, then click Advanced Search - AND PRAY!
  • 7over87over8 Posts: 4,733 ✭✭✭
    831 eastern, search still down
  • It isn't working for me either here in Dallas, TX. It's been down for quite a while. No items listed in any categories and all my auctions are gone from My eBay! Dayum. Hopefully they'll show back up again tomorrow before they end.
