If these repeated breakdowns were negatively affecting the bottom line of auction houses you can bet the problem would have been fixed already. This is a win win for everyone involved in the transaction except losing bidders.

Sellers benefit–both consignors and AH make more money, and bidders take it in the shorts. Rinse, repeat. We will see it again. If they want to appear truly apologetic, they can reduce their BP and thereby pay a price for this nonsense.

Plenty of good suggestions here–let’s see if they implement any of them going forward. Spread ending times over days, particularly where the subject matter is so diverse. I can appreciate multi-sport collectors, but seriously, why tie up your servers with people bidding on Lou Gehrig and Luka Doncic in the same final minutes. 30 or even 15 minute extended bidding is better than 10. End on Saturday for the working people who need to get up Monday. Explore lot by lot at some point. It just shouldn’t be a recurring problem anymore.

Internet has been fine for me all day but numerous times now, including just moments ago, after logging into eBay and looking at cards in my watch list, when I hit the back button, it re-asks me to type in my password.

I've tried the CDN and U.S. versions as well as through Leon's links above.
Each and every time I get the same thing?

Unlikely it is connected to the REA problem but just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yeah I'm sure they're thrilled when it happens.

This whole thread proves beyond a doubt that most of you aren't going to give a shit when this happens in the slightest. Why should they.

Like when McDonalds offers 1975 prices, get overwhelmed with foot traffic, and then call the whole thing off a few hours later. You thing they are embarrassed???? Hahahahahaha.

100 percent.

Saw a lot of comments today about how people are never bidding in REA auctions again. True for now… until REA sends out its next catalogue.

Hobby memories are short. My guess is not one single person will stop bidding over this. Nor should they IMO.

I didn't see any comments where someone said they won't bid with them again but I might have missed it. If they won't it might be a customer REA can live without. Is it extended bidding yet?

Financially speaking, they’re probably not too upset, and not scrambling to pay a ton of money to fix the issue. Short term this has increased profit. Long term probably doesn’t have much of an effect. I’m sure they didn’t want it to happen but they’re probably not crying either.
