Question

"My Ebay" down for you too?


Has anyone else noticed that the "My Ebay" servers are down for them too? I just realised this when I went to check in on auctions I'm watching, ending today, and got stuffed in as a "Guest". Upon attempting to re-login several times over the past 30 minutes, with nothing but page timeouts (and one claiming that cookies were disabled [which they're not]), I've got to wonder.

I remember seeing a thread the other day regarding an Ebay error, where people were logging into the wrong accounts unhindered; I wonder if this is related?

Does anyone else see the same results (that they cannot login to their respective "My Ebay" pages)?

I wonder how Ebay will handle auctions, which close while people are unable to signin, and whose sellers realise something went awry, and want to cancel their completed auctions, etc.

Ahh this must be one of Murphy's laws. A few minutes after posting, it re-appears. Shouldn't have waited 30 minutes before posting I suppose .

hit refresh normally does the trick.

I find my ebay plays up alot but dont find the need to start a thread on a forum that ebay staff proberly dont have time to read.

why not contact ebay and tell them about the problem.

I feel ur pain though i some times get the problem when surfing for items etc. like i said early i normally hit refresh or wait a moment and it works again.

Actually, if you'll note, I waited ~30 minutes before posting (I woke up just before 9:00 and was checking).

Ebay has been having tons of problems over the past three days, mainly with my ebay portion of it. I was 'locked' out of my account for a short time because it would not accept my password for a few hours so I finally got in by using the 'lost password' feature and was able to get right in.

Could email them but I doubt you would hear anything back from them.

BTW everything seems to be ok for me for the past few hours, I check ebay about 20 times daily

the problems ive been having with it have been going on longer then three days id say 3 months.

never been "locked" out though. just hitting the refresh solves the problems i have some times with it.

I've been having the odd problem like this on-and-off for a couple of weeks. No biggie, just mildly annoying. Got on Live Chat with them and it was no help but at least I reported it. Especially the first time I saw another username that was not mine in the login box! Life goes on, seems to happen from time to time, and I'm sure after the holiday rush it will be back to normal and still mildly buggy.
