Yeah, I read someplace that sellers can back out because of server problem but not sure the details. To be fair EBay should at least extend the deal by the number of hours server down. It can still mean you can get a bargain since alot of people I think uses the EBay software(not by EBay) that automaticly enters bids close to the end of auction. But those might be off since I think it is timed by when the auction is suppose to end. Anyone have used them before or have any comments on them?

Interesting Article in Today's Los Angeles Times(Page 1, Business Section) on the upcoming EBAY IPO. Partly on EBAY partly on IPO market.

Main Quote: In Large Letters:

"EBay for (this) week is crucial. This deal has everything going for it. If it doesn't do well, it's going to be dry as the Sahara for a while. If Goldman can't do it, this IPO market is dead."
(Tom Taulli, Technology analyst with IPO Monitor)
