Outage Short-Circuits EBay Auctions

Associated Press

All auctions by EBay Inc. were suspended temporarily Monday after its Web site suffered a server outage at about 8:30 a.m. EDT and was unable to process bids or accept new listings. The problem kept EBay from hosting auctions of just-released merchandise tied to the upcoming “Star Wars” movie until service was restored at 2 p.m. EBay said auctions slated to end during the shutdown or within an hour afterward will be extended 24 hours.
