Ebay locking up

[MarksReef]

Does any one have any idea why every time I try to access Ebay, it locks up on me. I doubt it is happening to every one too.

I had probems yesterday with ebay and paypal today. I'd guess it's a traffic issue. It's # 5 in the US and 13th in the world.
Don't think they have a premium membership option.

works fine for me.

I just went there again. I got in but it froze when I tried a search.
I think Steve is right about the premium membership

[Scuba_Dave]

Actually this site runs slower then E-Bay

Oh....they have a premium membership option alright! It's just not voluntary.

[Wilafur]

You need to upgrade from a 28.8 modem to a 56k modem at least
