My experience, selling since the beginning of ebay has been positive. When they are down, they extend the auction. They purchase servers routinely to keep up with the demand. Slowdowns on the internet are inevitable with traffic increasing...get a faster connection if possible. My only complaint is because of lack of competion, which is not their fault. I also started doing poorly because of market trends and other things...still no really the fault of ebay. I'm not a cheerleader for them, just my personal experience.
