OT - Are ebay messages in "real time" ?

Does anyone know if ebay messages are in "real time" ?

I'm guessing they are queued to some extent but I wondered whether ebay send them in batches ?

I've had a few people saying they haven't received messages over the last day or two...

thanks
Paul

they should sent within minutes they use alot of servers to ensure no bottle neck.

Paul a well known but not well publicised eBay problem, member to member messaging is broke. Not all messages land and some have been known to take weeks to land.

I currently have 107 "pending" messages.

The only sure way is to email.
