June 12, 1999 10:00 PDT Update Last night, we continued to experience difficulties, and as a precautionary measure, rolled back all changes including the new user interface. We want to clarify that the problem is not caused by a virus, a hacker or system load. See the Announcement Board for details. Please read the letter from Meg and Pierre for information about auction extensions, refunds and our new Outage Policy. Again, we apologize. ebay.com; ******* The press release from a couple of days ago was amusing; first it said they "would not rest until the problem never happens again", then in the same press release, they outlined their policy on what to do if the problem happens again.
