text: anyone else in uk having problems with ebay very slow and says cant find server? have had a receipt saying ive bought an item then cant pay thru paypal, then trying to bid on something and that wont play ball either !! help!! seems ok to me at the time of writing, but it does happen from time to time. damned annoying, if you lose a sniper bid as a result. it is just network/server congestion - you can try logging out, but there is always the risk that you won't be able to get back in again!
