That's exactly my problem - I have things just about to finish, some with 20 odd people watching them, and it now looks like they are gonna sell for a song - which isn't good at all... I can't afford to make such losses! Of course eBay will be as repentant as you'd expect them to be.


I'm starting to hop, I'll be mad in a minute!

If you look on their announcements page here (http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml)it tells you: -

We are experiencing some issues with a delay in search being displayed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. We are working to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

It's back to the appearance on searches that went out a couple of weeks ago. Maybe the new system wasn't as stable as it was supposed to be?

Same here - really fed up with it now. Off to bed. Lost pots of money tonight on my stuff that's ended with low bids.

It's not good.
