Ebay servers down?

[DoneADougalOnSofa]

Just done a tracert to ebay.co.uk and step 13 timing out. Some strange looking results coming up...
DDOS attack from somewhere?

Google searches taking several seconds too. Reckon there's shenanigans going on somewhere.

ebay.co.uk and vortez.net not working for me with Virgin Media.

Telecity are having problems this morning so there is some fairly widespread connectivity interruption.

 

[dandan556]

Thank god for that, thought it was just me, on Virgin Media too.

You're glad that there is a major network problem affecting millions of people and not just you?

Cool

That's what I've just had, same for the digital fix

 

[darael]

Not working here, on Virgin Media. It seems VM lines are choked up as I can't get through to them on 150.

 

[Hyburnate]

Nothing on Sky. So there goes the VM theory

There was a routing update this morning that pushes the global routing table to ~512K routes which we think pushed a lot of routers over the edge.

Grrr! Put shed loads on there yesterday. Now losing views.

Hypothetically, If you put something up for 5 days, ebay suffers a massive 4 day outage and your item is only visible for a day, surely ebay wouldn't expect you to accept a winning bid if it is far lower than the projected end price?

Can you not change the end date of the auction after it is posted?

very odd...working fine for me still and has been all day

you can alter things as long as no bids have been made, then it's fixed

That makes sense. I think the problem here was not enough people will see it because eBay will be down, therefore not enough people will bid. So if that's the case, robfosters should be alright with any luck.

That said, I don't imagine there'll be a 4 day outage. A site like eBay wants to get as close to 100% uptime as possible.
