Before eBay gets around to proofreading their announcement about the outage posted at 18:06 today (10/15) -- hop on over there and enjoy their freudian slip. It says: "Difficulties in performing the tuning led to us deciding to ****fail**** over to our hot backup system. The eBay site was again available at 17:50 PDT." grins

Actually, e-Bay used the correct word -FAIL- because it did not stay up. It sort of Yo-Yo'd for about 30 minutes. Wonder why they do not have some sort of quality control to check their announcement board. I read my auctions when I get confirmation and revise if I find any typo errors. I recall the one where the seller used a t instead of a p when he mentioned how soon he would ship and that was enough for me to read my stuff over carefully.
