When my sales tank, I go and take a look at my nemesis. A selling machine, his prices are insanely low for top branded leather vintage but he has make an offer on everything anyway and accepts even lower (I have checked) - and he lists new stock every day - huge amounts. He abuses buyers (got removed for outright racism once) and since private sellers have free to sell he moved to private, occasionally gets jumped back onto business, but then just opens a new private account.
Has he suffered with the outage at ebay this weekend? Has he ----. He's selling like a maniac like he always is.
I guess that's my point. Yes the site is incredibly glitchy - I've just done some ending and sell-similaring (or would have done, if the darn things had jumped into inactive... still waiting on that) but I don't think the glitches are affecting sales in a meaningful way (even though I wish they were). My nemesis sells cheap and probably works for peanuts (or else his stock costs pennies) and for him it's business as usual.
