Ebay in the toilet?

Jan 30, 2005 13 Replies

Anyone else having trouble with eBay? I can browse and search but anything requiring an ID (login, bid, Buy it Now, Seeing My Ebay) gives me a "Page cannot be displayed error". PayPal, too. I sent an email to tech support but the response sounds as if they have no idea this is happening.



This is happening on my home and my work machine and these are the only 2 sites affected, all other browsing activity seems OK.


I just logged on to both sites with no problem.

No problem for me

I had no problems signing on this morning.

What OS are you using on your computer? Try clearing all your temporary internet files (including ticking the 'all offline content' checkbox). Then check for any software updates/patches. It's probable that those interactive pages are using javascripts, so also check that your security settings haven't been changed to 'high' to disable those scripts running. More info about your system might help if these suggestions don't. Good luck, Chek Change' boos' to 'bos' in address to email directly

Thanks everyone. This sucks, though, if everyone else is OK. Anyway I had to redo some of my Norton Internet Security last night and it seems to be working again. But what beats me is having the same exact problem at work.

" I'm having a similar problem. I updated some security patches in the last few weeks on my machine and not on my wife's. Same exact make and model PCs delivered from Gateway the same day - same OS etc. I get the page cannot be displayed - her computer gets thru. I had it happen trying to order from Squadron today and on other sites. I lowered security to Medium - some come through that were among those I couldn't access. Others are the same. There's a Java upload, and some Northon stuff and a Security upload from mcrosoft - that's the only differences. Hopefully it's a controllable thing I can find and change as opposed to the updated software. We got some new firewall updates at work - Now I get a runtime error on every page I open and get many sites that used to work simply lock up. I'd be interested if you find a fix for your problem - I'll post if I find the other difference.

ebay's been f***ed since I first looked at it - I never could get the useless pricks to send me an ID that was any use at all. All the emails I sent came back with what seemed to me to be an automated reply - basically it was "We haven't done anything wrong - you must be stupid." So they can get stuffed and miss out on my business. And I know they'll never miss me, but it's the principle of the thing.

RobG sorry for the language, but that's how mad I am

As I said I reinstalled and updated some of Norton Security and it started working again. They did just upgrade the server at work. Maybe that had something to do with it.

IE 6.0 all with the most current updates on both machines.

They're losing out on some fees with me because they dumped my sale of some German models. I noted the ID on one of those sales and contacted him outside the auction. He still wanted the models and I'm selling him a bunch more. Heehee hee!

Are you using Netscape? I can't get anywhere with them that way since the middle of the month. However the IE is working just fine as I posted some stuff for sale today through that. I prefer Netscape but I guess if I want to sell stuff I'm screwed with that.

I've had no problems accessing ewBay on either AOL or IE. Both seem to work fine.
