Of course, this is an absurd way to run an auction. No RL auction
would ever take that $51 bid without asking for more. Seems like there
should be a simple way to solve the problem via software, such as
extending an auction if a bid is received within the last x seconds.

I'm trying to order 3 small items apparently from 3 different vendors,
so maybe that's the problem. But the error Amazon is giving me is less
than helpful:
We're sorry! An error occurred when we tried to process your request.
Rest assured, we're working to resolve the problem as soon as
No, eventually I managed to order 2 of the 3 items individually
($shipping hit!). Apparently there was something wrong with one of the
items - maybe it had been discontinued or something. I guess I'll
never know because that ridiculously vague error message was no help
at all!

Just for future reference, what specifically makes you think it looks

IMHO, you should go whole hog and give up the POP. At least give it a
fair trial for a few months. Lots of advantages, though it takes a bit
of getting used to.

Has anyone tried unsuccessfully placing orders at Amazon.com recently?
I'm trying to order a few odds n ends but keep getting errors in
Firefox and IE6 - for about two weeks now.
I managed to order a single item just now, so I know they aren't down
entirely. Strange.
