Or maybe the question should be, is it E-bay, or is it me?
During the last week E-bay has been loading really slow and “hurky jerky”. I haven’t seen any messages on it that they are having tech problems. I have Road Runner so I don’t think it’s my connection which is lightening fast (except sometimes here at SDMB:rolleyes: )
So, does anyone have any info on E-bays current problems?

Nothing wrong with eBay that I know of. I’ve got RoadRunner, and I just “won” a NeXTstation Color Turbo for a little over $100 🙂

I’ve noticed some slow page loads, and the Honesty counter on my auction has been broken for about 1/3 of the time so far. Maybe the broken counters are causing page loading delays.
Or, mabye they’re trying to fix some bugs in the auction code: [eBay battles bugs](http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-200-5237110.html?tag=mn_hd)
