This was posted on ebay AU facebook:

"We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Sunday 18th January from 4:00pm-8:30pm AEST. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and look forward to helping you with your questions after the maintenance is complete."

Get those 150 free listing in before the maintenance start! ^_^

It sucks tho - peak time for auctions ending.....*sigh*

I thought that ebay have been in maintenance mode all day as my ebay site has been darn sloooooooooooow all day lol.

But seriously people do need to have their listings in place and hopefully not too many listings are due to end in that period as bidders won't be able to bid,I remember last time my items went for cheap as chips lol.

what sucks is that they posted in on Facebook - what the??? - why not an announcement on the ebay site?

I wonder what they'll be fiddling with, and make a complete botch of, this time?

Probably everything......as usual. Breaking all the stuff that isn't already broken. I shudder to think.

I wonder if listings are scheduled to start during that time whether they will go live or not?

Are they still doing maintenance? I can't access one of my watchlists. I thought they were supposed to be improving the buyer experience, not smothering it.

Sorry, we couldn't complete your request. Try again later.

Some were getting that message yesterday, but I've been getting it a few times today. I've found refreshing the page seems to fix it.

I found that if you refresh using 'my ebay > watch list' drop down menu

it works better than just the refresh icon

I tried both ways - several times. Then I decided I had better things to do anyway.

It all started when they changed the format of the "watchlist" page late last week.

However if you click on the " my ebay summary" under my ebay it takes you to the original watchlist page.

Well it does for me anyway..............

YES!!!! Yes it does!

What a clever boy, padi.

So now we can have 2 watch lists - old and new!

Now, if I can just remember how many threads we have

on watch lists, I'll be right.

what can I say ??? "pats head"..................

Errrr, I can't remember Stalks - at least 3 though in one way or another.......................

Puts in application to be a high-grade eBay tech that actually fixes problems - sort of................

Ooh, thank you!!! I never got back to this thread and I actually emailed ebay about it today.

I've got my landing page set to my watchlist and I was clicking on My Ebay, hovering over My Ebay and then clicking on Watch List on the drop down list, clicking on Watchlist from "item saved in your watchlist" (on fresh items that I deliberately saved to my watchlist for this purpose), and any other way I could think of. I wasn't even aware my watchlist changed last week - still can't see any difference, except that I seem to have lost the option to show 100 listings per page, which is a real pain!

padi*0409 — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 12:11:23 GMT

Here's the two of them ERG below, yes it's a pain losing the amount of views per page 25 on the old style summary page and 100 on the new style, eBay's way of enhancing your eBay experience..........pffft.

I thought I always had the button to add a note, unless it was only down the bottom before, or on a dropdown menu at the side (??). Only being able to see one version means I can't compare old and new.

I actually want to have 100 showing per page, but I'm stuck with only 25 now. I have 172 items in my watchlist and it takes too long going from one page to the next. If I want to do a big order from one buyer, they'll often be spread over two pages when they're small pages. I suppose I'll just be grateful that I can see my watchlist at all.

Re: Scheduled Maintenance on Sunday 18 Jan

padi*0409 — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 12:48:05 GMT

You can get 100 per page if you use the new format (IF you can get it to work - I'm finding that only about 1 in 5 times it'll load) that's the top one of the two with the grey bar on it.

For the life of me I can't understand why the techs keep insisting on changing/fixing things that ain't broken........grrrr

Re: Scheduled Maintenance on Sunday 18 Jan

englishrosegardens — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 13:05:25 GMT

I can only get the one with the orange bar so I assume I've only got the old version. I haven't seen the new one at all.

Maybe the technies have to find something to do so they look busy, otherwise management might think they're surplus to requirements.
