Scheduled maintenance tomorrow morning

About this morning's outage
This morning we experienced a complete site outage for 45 minutes .
Our normal practice is to extend affected auctions to ensure sellers can realise their best price and buyers get the opportunity to place their best bid. We originally announced that we intended to extend auctions, as per our normal practice.
Due to a related technical issue, we were not able to successfully extend auctions after this morning's outage. We are looking into how to better ensure auctions are reliably extended in the event of a site outage. More...
Update your listings to the new shipping format
From Thursday 17 August we will require all listings to use our new shipping format. Listings still using the old format will not be able to be relisted using Quick Relist or the sell multiple identical items feature.
Use the bulk update tool to change your current listings to the new shipping format. This tool is available on your Items I’m Selling page and updates all current listings without bids.
