About eBay outages
eBay is one of the few consumer sites where a few minutes of downtime translates directly into lost money, because auctions end at fixed times and a bid that cannot be placed cannot be placed later. That gives eBay outages a sharper edge than most retail incidents.
The components that fail separately are search, listing pages, the bidding engine, checkout, and Seller Hub. Search returning nothing while item pages load is common and is usually an index problem. Bidding failures in the final minutes of an auction produce the largest report spikes. eBay's policy is that it may extend or cancel auctions affected by a confirmed site issue, but that is discretionary. Seller tools and the developer API have their own availability. eBay does not run a public consumer status page; the developer programme publishes API status separately.
What to do if eBay is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached ebay.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Do not resubmit an order you are unsure about. Confirmation emails run late under load. Check your order history before trying again, or you will buy it twice.
How shopping & delivery services typically fail
Products browse perfectly, the basket fails. Queue pages appear. Orders may complete but confirmation emails arrive hours later, which causes a second wave of duplicate orders from people who assumed failure. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our shopping & delivery status page, with more background in what an overload error looks like.

eBay measured against its peers
How it compares with other shopping & delivery services
Over the last 30 days eBay ranks 2 of 7 shopping & delivery services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and eBay sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is Amazon.
On speed, eBay answers our checks in about 193 ms against a category average of 201 ms - Faster than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 78 ms and the slowest 977 ms, against a 30-day average of 193 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every shopping & delivery service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
eBay status: Common questions
Is eBay down right now?
eBay is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach eBay when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is eBay?
eBay has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does eBay have an official status page?
eBay does not publish a public status page, which is why independent monitoring and user reports are the only external signal available during an incident.
