There was a problem at our colo facility tonight from about 6:50 until 8pm. Our servers placed the snipes, but they may not have made it to eBay because of the problem in the colo.

The system is currently updating all snipes during those times and they'll likely be listed as 'Unknown' once the computer has reviewed them all. At that point you may receive your free snipes here:

We are working with the colo facility to find out why things were running slowly during that time. We have used their services for over 4 years and they have always proved to be very reliable.

We confirmed with our colocation facility that houses our servers that there was an attack on another customer at the facility last night. They found, and fixed the issue. Hopefully they can find and prosecute the hacker.

There was a DOS attack involved a colo customer from 7pm to 8:10pm.

It was caused by an XXXXXXXX service on port XXXX from a colocation customer

located at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. We routed the colocation customer to null. The customer has fixed the problem.
