EBay Restores Site After Saturday Outage
- Share via
EBay, the No. 1 online auctioneer, restored its Web site Saturday afternoon, a little more than three hours after its fourth system failure in a month. An announcement on the San Jose-based company’s Web site, https://www.ebay.com, at 11:43 a.m. Saturday said that the system shut down because of a “database server” problem. The site was restored at 2:56 p.m. Auctions that were scheduled to end during the time the system was down were given an additional 24 hours, the site said.
The service crash follows a number of such shutdowns in recent weeks, the longest being a 21-hour outage June 10 that the company said could cut as much as $5 million from its second-quarter revenue.
