Yup, Ebay is down here too!

FYI -

e-Bay advised that they will be refunding listing fees and that you don't have to complete your transaction with the highest bidder if you feel that the system issue affected the final $ of your item.

**Issues with Search results and eBay Stores***

November 21, 2009 | 03:28PM PST/PT

Due to errors in some of our backend systems, members may be seeing different errors in Search. This could be that "We were unable to run the search results you entered. Please try again in a few minutes" or a blank page, or simply the browser being unable to display the page.
This is also affecting the ability to access eBay Stores through search directly, and sometimes from the store URL.

Workarounds - Buy It Now Search and Advanced Search
If you use the Advanced Search option at the top of the page, and type in your search query and click the title and description box and then run the search, the results for the title and description search will be returned.

Alternatively, if you receive a 0 results page for title search and click the Buy It Now tab (or choose the title and description box and re-run the search), you'll see the (Buy It Now or title and description) results for your search query.

Please note that we are working as quickly as possible to get this resolved. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to resolve this.

Woopdedoo. They'll give you back your 50 cents listing fee. I am sure they will hang on to the final value fee upon the item selling and I don't, for one minute believe a damn word ebay says about anything (don't have to complete the transaction). I have been down this road with ebay before, buying items costing several hundreds of dollars using bing for a refund and being told by bing that ebay said there was a glitch and they wouldn't authorize the bing refund, etc, etc, etc.

Search function appears to be working now.

Looks to be a barnburner fourth quarter in Palo Alto. Go Bears!

[mybuddyinc]

Use the advanced search feature (with title & description box checked.) You will get more results than you probably bargain for, but it is a good workaround for the time being.
