Submission + - eBay crashes - hard, All 'Live Auctions' are down

Bomarc writes: "eBay live auctions got off to a slow start this morning (10/21/06); however they quickly came to a halt with the error message. The auction that was going tried to continue with phone in; and just keep selling. Three hours later there is a hanging message — 'Sorry for the delay. We are hoping to be up soon with lot 56'. (Note: I'm using my Geocites account to host the screen shots; be kind)"
