I am trying to log in to AS to amend my snipes but just get redirected to the main login page - even from the secure login page - login is not registered - and yes the typing is correct and num and caps lock correctly set - checked by logging onto ebay.
Is this a temporary site glitch that others are also noticing or has something nasty happened to my a/c do you reckon?
***Scheduled Maintenance for September 17th*** Date: 09/15/04 Time: 01:59:39 PM PDT
The eBay system will be undergoing general maintenance from approximately 01:00 to 03:00 PT on Friday, September 17th. During this maintenance period, certain eBay site features may be intermittently unavailable or slow. Regards, eBay AS, I believe trys to do any of their things during the same period. Maybe this was the problem?
Trouble and the Grace to bear it, come in the same package.
This is a fairly standard issue, in that it occurs most/all Friday AM's (AS is down when ebay is down and snipes for that downtime will be placed as proxy bids). There's some discussion that AS will post a status page when it's down, but no word on when that will happen.

He appears to be in a seriously serious union – I’m serious. Looks like the photographer forgot to say, “Say cheeeeese!!!” I wonder if that is considered a good mood for them, or did they just attend a Dixie Chicks’ concert? I have a feeling management isn’t all that happy when they strike. But then, I have a feeling management isn’t all that happy when they show up. They do seem to be a friendly/huggy group, or maybe they are just holding each other up. Any women in his union?
Just in case, after all this jollity, someone wondered what had happened re the original post...
I tried again after about 30 mins and cleared all characters with additional delete keyings in all fields and it finally worked - whether then recovered or just temporarily suffering from invisible character insertions within apparanetly empty fields (I have known this) I cannot tell - but it now works and I am once more a happy sniper!
The Friday morning maintenance was at least PART of your problem. Every Friday morning between 1 and about 3 AM (California time) the site goes down. I have no doubt it will happen again this coming Friday
