eBay: Slow as Hell

geeklineMember

I am wondering... every 15 minutes thier site locks up for me and I cant even list items or leave feedback. Everything is slowing down to a crawl. I know this is probably because of the sceduling of auctions.

But eBay has loads of money. Gobs of it in fact. Why dont they buy more servers and some more bandwidth to handle this load? Why dont they buy a couple of super computers (Cray?) so that we dont have to deal with all this? They only cost a few million each and for a company like them that's chump change.
