Yep, I'm trying to post my first auction as a seller, and I can't get it to go through so far. Dangit. [Edit: now it went through. Great!] Randy

Sweet!!! Ebay site crashing now would do my puts marvelously in coming days. I bot a couple of Sept. 130 contracts this AM. >>Uh Oh!!!!! Guess what! Ebay's system is bombing again. There is only the "shell" present. If you try to view an auction it gives the now familiar "can not open the selected internet site" error. This has been followed in the past by prolonged outages of the database kind. When will they own up to the real nature of these problems? Hey, I am not a fortune teller, but I can tell you from numerous past experiences, this is EXACTLY what their system does before it crashes completely, and they end up taking it off-line altogether. We shall see....breaks MY heart!<< But it warms MY heart. As the saying goes, "One man's trash is another man's treasure".
