Ebay Secrets Blog

First of all, my personal apologies that I’m only just getting something up now. Inexcusable and I assure you it won’t happen again. This official statement was made by eBay Inc. this evening:

SAN JOSE — Saturday, Nov 21, 7 p.m. PST — eBay expects full search functionality to be restored to eBay.com on Sunday after a technical issue today resulted in searches returning either limited or no results throughout the day today. The identified technical issue has been fixed and is being implemented across the site.

The unanticipated technical issue resulted from a surge in live listings as sellers ramp up for the holiday season. eBay currently has more than 200 million live listings, 33 percent more than at this time a year ago. The company said the technical issue, once identified, was easily fixed.

I’ll obviously update this post as I learn more.
