Whats up I wonder with Ebay . Looked at the forums and it seems to be down everywhere .Imagine if youve got a an expensive item on with no reserve , and someone made a playful opening bid of 99p , then the auction time comes and goes with no-one else able to get into Ebay to bid more. Wonder what Ebay do about it. Would the winning bidder get the 'prize' or not . Wonder if theres a massive hack going on. Lots of the posts in the forums are from 'competitors' advertising their own dodgy looking 'alternatives' . They could be viruses for all we know. Anyone heard anything on the news?
