Data on down detector shows eBay experienced a possible outage Monday, with thousands of users saying they could not complete searches on the platform. Down detector logged more than 2, 700 problem reports as of 11: 05 a. m. PT, and most complainants identified the search function as the main failure. eBay’s status checker did not show an outage at that time.
Down Detector data: escalating report counts
Initial tallies on Downdetector registered more than 2, 700 users reporting problems at 11: 05 a. m. PT. The stream of user submissions continued: later counts rose to more than 3, 700 reports, then to over 6, 000, and a subsequent update showed more than 9, 500 users had reported an issue with eBay. The tracking service collects status reports from multiple sources to compile these totals.
User impact and platform status
Most users filing problem reports indicated search was not working, making it difficult to find listings or complete transactions. Despite the flood of user reports captured by Downdetector, eBay’s own status checker displayed no outage at the times noted in the tracking updates. That mismatch left many users posting complaints while the platform’s public status tool showed normal operations.
What’s next — watch the trackers and status checker
Expect the counts on down detector to continue updating as more users submit problem reports and as the platform’s status information changes. Observers should monitor both the tracking service and the platform status checker for new entries and any official status updates from the company. Uncertainties remain about the root cause and the timeline for resolution until the platform publishes an update.
