They used to take the site down for updates on a Friday morning....

I got that message about not all my information being available as well this afternoon

Not sure by your post if you were selling them or watching to bid on them ?

If you're not the seller have you tried to search for the items via description/seller ID rather than item numbers?

Might be that ebay has withdrawn these items or even the sellers registration for some reason.

If you are the seller then basically, you're fc*ked

it's an EBay glitch according to EBay forum.

Ebay wasn't down, every now and then there's some of your details that you can't see like total bid amounts etc but the site is never down fully. Not the Uk one anyway.

as he offered me it for the first offer I made him.....woooo hoooo

I wuz gonna bid on that ex-DJ box of NS CDs today. Set the alarm and then settled down to listen to Radio Oxford's soul show over the 'net. The show ended and I thought "'Oy! Shouldn't the alarm have gone of half an hour ago?"

Yup. It should have, and it would have.

If I'd of actually switched it on.

Stoopid box went for 50 quid less than I'd have offered...

Some days you just can't win.

The answer is simple the seller will have recieved a private bid, accepted it and withdrawn the item, so avoiding fees.

Make sure you buy from reliable sellers.

On the subject of ebay re: paypal - there was a news story about how people are getting ripped off in one of the Sunday Papers yesterday.

Well, not really - then the item would come up as "auction completed, item no longer available for sale" or something. Gasher's talking about the auction being pulled and becoming an invalid item. Ebay stop auctions for lots of daft reasons, like if you say you'll accept cash, try and add on 4% to use paypal etc.
