I still suspect a bug. I'm not moving between here and the UK (or
elsewhere) as I notice these problems. At one point I was logging in
*every* time I hit the confirm button on submitting a bid. This is very
bad news if you're a... late bidder. :-o



Verily.



In addition, I noticed actual repeatable evidence of asynchrony. After
leaving (positive!) feedback for one individual, the "won bid" entry for
that item never updated on my "my ebay" page to reflect that I'd left
feedback even though my feedback made it to his/her/their feedback page.

It's a new problem, near's I can tell, but if it's only me I'm gonna cry.



It isn't happening here, and I've bought 15 different items lately,
the past week and a half or two. The last item was on Saturday.

Have you tried clearing your history buffer and cache yet? Running
Mozilla 1.5 yet?


Yes, restarting (Firefox) seems to fix the problem for a time. It's
something about how they are maintaining their sessions across different
page loads for sure. Having more than twenty tabs/windows open,
sometimes for days, is probably not part of their design considerations.
