ebay servers undergoing maintenance?

[kellymitch09]

Ebay servers are undergoing maintenance according to my iPhone app when i refresh it.

Does this mean that people were not able to bid in the last 5 minutes?

If so, not cool.

Welcome to Friday in eBayland

As jerryman said. Maintenance is always a dodgy time to list or for an item to end. Been this way for years

Gah, I did not know this.  

Ah well.  Happy with final price considering I was going  to just turf the phone out.  But still :_|

You could find yourself in trouble with that listing.

It doesn't matter how many times you state damaged, as is, may only be fit for spares etc in the body of the listing the item specifics take precedent and you have listed as used not as for spares and repair.

Second problem you cannot post it in a pre paid satchel, you have to post it regular small parcel with a road only sticker on it and you should register it with extra cover so it is covered up to the total value with AP and had Paypal protection.

Mobile phones have to be posted road only in Australia and cannot be posted overseas by AP at all.

I have posted pre-paid satchels with "road only" stickers on them with no problems.  Even handed them over the counter at a real Post Office (not an agency or LPO).  I have also posted Express Post satchels with road only stickers and without signing the declaration, in fact, I actually cross out every line of the declaration with a thick black marker to make it clear that it is not for air transport.

I haven't used eBay's C&S satchels but would imagine that they could also be marked/stickered as "Road Only".

Why on earth would you waste money on an Express Post satchel and then post it by Road Only?
