I'm having the same problem, very frustrating as I am selling an item that is due to end this afternoon, I am just keep refreshing the google page in hope that ebay comes back on soon.
If we lose sales as a result of this will eBay refund some of our fees?
I had 2 items that had a lot of watchers and views but no bids back at 8am when I last looked, they will have ended now and people will not have been able to bid, my stuff nearly always gets bids in the last few minutes.
