I've just tried it now, and everything seems okay, it could be it was a temporary problem due to weather etc. I did suffer a couple of times last year,about this time, with bids not being acknowledged, and that was UK.

Ebay keeps on refusing to let me sign in, says either my ID or my password is incorrect. I clicked on Customer Support and eventually found "We're making some updates and will be back soon". I am also having problems with PayPal, are the two sites somehow linked?

One minute you can get onto the site, then when you try to navigate it goes screwy, then when you try again, you can't even get on. I know that ebay does maintenance on Friday's, but this feels like something else, are thay trying to be hacked at a sensitive time, who knows!

Ebay is up and running again, at least it was 2 mins ago. I was watching a Specto 9.5mm projector that still had 5 days to go, but the seller took it off the listings.

6am Eastern Time was 11am British Summer Time, so it sounds as if it was a major problem for eBay. Just checked British eBay at 3.45 BST and all now seems OK once again.
