William: As a long-term buyer, seller and investor in eBay, I can tell you these problems over the past two days are more than the euphemistic term "inconvenience". The site was down all night Wednesday, most of last night and all day today. The eBay auction sellers are extremely frustrated (showing their dependence on eBay). eBay has been extremely slow for most of the past month. What concerns me is their system infrastructure, and whether the whole system may need to be redesigned. I'm not a big fan of Amazon auctions (yet), but they have a better user interface, are almost always quick, and I have never seem them go down. AND, they always respond to my questions where eBay is totally unresponsive. eBay needs to hire the people who designed the Amazon auctions, and get some real engineers who know a thing or two about mirroring, redundancy, etc. eBay is THE traffic leader by far, but there is no sense in letting others get their foot in the door needlessly. Still bullish on eBay but very unhappy with their system performance...
