About eBay outages
eBay is a global marketplace for auctions and fixed-price sales. Because listings are time-sensitive, even short eBay outages have real consequences — bids can fail in an auction’s final minutes.
eBay FAQ
What happens to my auction if eBay goes down?
eBay does not automatically extend auctions for outages except in major, acknowledged incidents. Bids that fail during brief downtime are simply lost, which is why sniping in the last seconds carries platform risk as well as strategy risk.
Why can’t I list an item on eBay right now?
The selling flow relies on eBay’s listing and image-upload services, which fail independently of browsing. Draft your listing and retry later — if buyers can see the site but sellers cannot list, it is an eBay-side partial outage, not your account.
Is eBay down for everyone or just me?
We test eBay (https://ebay.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check eBay's official status channels.
