Something is up and we're looking into it.
Usually this happens when a server at eBay is slow. Our requests to their servers for data begin to stack up and then as more and more pile up our site becomes slower and slower.
We're double checking everything on our end to be sure.
We restarted a couple of our webservers to try and clean out the data requests to eBay and now they're operating speedily. We have one still going stlow at this point. Now they may slow again as requests build up, or they may stay fast.
Just letting you know we're on top of it.
I would advise manually sniping along with us sniping just to be safe, I'll post again when I am certain the problem is resolved.
