When I got back home I check the defunct evilBay URLs using:
http://internetsupervision.com/scripts/urlcheck/check.aspx
and sure enough, most of them timed out. I was finally able to get to a Buy It
Now item that I very much needed for a bike I'm restoring, but it took a full
45 minutes to complete the transaction, mostly due to evilBay timing out and
disconnecting at their end. I endured this while at the same time repairing my
refrigerator, which had been partially broken since last weekend.
Maybe they'll have the shipping calculator working by tomorrow, but I
doubt it.
