Why am I not surprised that ebay hasn't bothered to make a general announcement re this problem.

They treat both their buyers and sellers with contempt !!

There must have been huge numbers of affected traders who had auctions finishing last night or wished to bid (not me personally, though I couldn't upload photos for a while last night) and still ebay doesn't feel there is any hurry to acknowledge it, apologise to those who were impacted and reassure that compensation will be considered.

Like I said, why am I surprised !!
