Can't get thru to Ebay?

[J]

I have been trying to get to "my Ebay" for an hour and have given up! I have
talked to non RR friends and they are having no problems. As usual with RR!
When I really need it I am out of luck....Here is the tracert. It looks like
the problem is with Level 3 up north. I just tried it with my Net Zero
dialup and it works there....
What am I paying for??
Well, I would show the tracrt but the %^&^%$ program won't let me copy it.

eBay has been closed to me (your information is not available, please
try later) for a couple hours.

Some of it is back, but not all.

Maybe not an RR problem, this time?

I think it may have been more than a power outage. An acquaintance was
unable to access ebay or her yahoo email. Come to find out, someone was
apparently using her account info to try to sell a Camaro. Very weird, I
don't know how that would work. At any rate, by this afternoon she'd gotten
"her" ebay account back, and was working on the yahoo.

Power outage downs eBay
eBay users looking to buy or sell on the online auction giant were met
instead with varying degrees of inaccessibility, an issue the site blamed on
a power outage. A little after 9 p.m., individual auction pages were
unavailable, and soon the site's main page was inaccessible.
eBay's system announcements page posted a message saying "We are aware the
site is unavailable. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as
possible."

About an hour later, the auction giant updated the message to read, "eBay
experienced a power outage at a principal hosting facility in the Bay Area.
Some eBay functions and listings are now available, and we are working to
fully restore the rest of the site."

One News.com reader expressed frustration over the outage.

"With the recent increase in fees by eBay, we the customers (either sellers
or buyers) are asking is this the service we should expect after paying so
much maybe we should use the competition."

The honor of living in an exclusively RR area. Aren't government granted
monopolies a hoot?

By the way.. I had the same problem too. I just waited. I suppose I should
ask for my subscription back for that evening...

How much do you pay for you eBay subscription? They were the ones with
a problem.
