K...Ebay had crappy software even before Y2K....They go down all the time. Sometimes for days on end. If you go to their messeg board you can read all of their excuses fromatted in "BARNEY".

'We love you...you love us...we broke down but please don't fuss....'

You know, I realize that I tend to mistrust "glitches", but knowing Ebay and its track record, I can truly say that this is TYPICAL, Y2K or no!!!!

*** SYSTEM STATUS *** The eBay system became unavailable at 21:45 PST because of a hardware failure. We used the high-availability system to recover and are now operational, as of 22:32 PST. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, eBay
