Ebay became a victim of its own success over the weekend after a surge in
the number of items for sale caused the world's largest online auction site
to crash.
Millions of shoppers were left unable to use the website starting Saturday,
in the crucial run-up to Christmas, after a computer system failure.
Ebay said there had been a huge rise in the number of items listed for sale
on its site in the run-up to the holiday season this year. It currently has
over 200m live listings, 33 per cent more than this time last year.
