Search Failures

[davesgreatcardsgalore]

Tech support... what's going on?  Searches not working!  Does ebay monitor these technical problem reports, or are all of us frustrated users just talking to each other?  I wish we had some indication about what ebay says is going wrong, and what they are doing to fix it.... I need to know when I can get back to work on my ebay business.  Right now, I'm wasting time trying to get anything done when the searches keep failing.

There currently seem to be ongoing problems viewing sold listings, stores or using advanced search.

eBay does not update the status board or reply to posts until long after the problems have been noticed elsewhere.

If you are not sure if a problem is on your end or is a widespread problem impacting others, the best way to check is to read the discussion boards or check a third-party site such as downdetector:

Some one said the got a hold of some one in tech; and they know about it, and they might get if fixed in 5 days or so...

Ah hearsay on the boards: but I believe this one..

Ongoing tech issue.

Maybe hackers wanting $50m to restore the system or because ebay are trying to add VAT to the listings.  Either way, a very very frustrating day.  Get it sorted sometime soon folks!!!
