[meteorite-list] EBay Server issues?????

[John.L.Cabassi]

G'Day Don
You're not alone in this. Several months ago, I had problems, I even vented 
to Mike Farmer in regards to issues and also to eBay, never got a response 
back from ebay. Possibly because of the way I vented to them.  At the time, 
the problems I was having was that exactly at 17 seconds on a bid, I would 
be bumped off the site and have to sign in again, but the auction was over. 
I had a tech check it out and it was definitely a problem with ebay. But 
I've also noticed over the last month pages are also taking a long time to 
load up and worse yet, if you're bidding on something, usually the first 
refresh takes 3 seconds. But as you keep refreshing, the pages are taking up 
to 30 seconds. So as for bidding on ebay, I've given up. It's a lost cause.

Cheers
Johnno
