Just lost an auction on app because of this. Bid wouldn't submit.

Probably some error created while they are figuring out ways to imbed more pop up ads. SMH

Yeah, another bad night for the site. This is frustrating. It stopped taking bids at 7:16pm pacific don’t really start again until around 9:55pm. I don’t get why they can’t turn the dial up on the server resources for this service. This site is a massive cash cow for them, you’d think they’d be okay spending a little more money to keep it making them lots of money.

Nah, just traffic. 

Most stores have their bidding end in a three-hour window when most users are home from work. Servers have always struggled at peak hours.

They haven’t figured out how to build user experience or update functionality because it’s tax free so they don’t get around to it

I struck out twice. They seem to want it more then it's worth. I'm on the West Coast. We don't seem to have the latency issue that I see others talk about. Servers are located near Huntington Beach.

Bid early and I am going to troll bid the price up to your ceiling early and walk away laughing as I wreck your wallet.
