Typical Ebay on a Sunday evening, the volume of traffic is so high they struggle to cope.

Err.....have you guys ever heard of 'Bid Sniper' ?? If there's something you really want,you can tee it up on Bid Sniper (with your max bid) and just leave it to do it's stuff !!
Just google 'Bid Tamer' and you'll find it.....
You get 3 free bids per week,without having to register.
