In view of the upcoming Black Friday sales 2009 all over the United States, Ebay is having some problems right now. It could be because of the sheer bulk of people using the service or this could be a Denial of Service Attack. This prevents a lot of people from surfing and buying some stuff online.

The Wall Street Journal reports that “EBay Inc.’s main e-commerce sites suffered from sporadic failures on Saturday, limiting the ability of shoppers to search for products on the site in the lead-up to the crucial holiday shopping season.

Sellers say they first began noticing problems with eBay’s search system on Saturday morning. At 11:17 a.m. Pacific time.”

This Ebay outage may also be because of the new Ebay e-commerce site, as per reports from CNET:

eBay Motors founder Simon Rothman announced on Monday that he has officially launched a new e-commerce site, Glyde. According to the press release, Glyde’s goal “is to democratize e-commerce.” The site was born out of Rothman’s desire to make it easier for Web users to buy and sell products online.
But Glyde throws in a twist. The site’s marketplace is designed for Web users to sell used goods. They can sell books, CDs, DVDs, and video games.

At this time, we just have to be patient and wait for some developments. Hopefully, Ebay will be restored soon enough.
