This what happens when they try to short a stock when shares arent available folks: from the raging bull update:

Final Hour Sell-Off Shakes Markets, but eBay Booms

It was a day of resignation for any trader seeking to sell short shares of eBay
(EBAY), the Internet's leading auction site, whose earnings release and
3-for-1 split announcement Tuesday night created a rocket ride for current
shareholders, up 82 5/8 to 303 1/2.

RB member agregory summed it up in note #111 on the EBAY thread:

"No Shares Available. I tried to short the stock with a limit order. Neither of
my brokers had any shares available to short. Oh well."
