Verification when searching not user friendly

padraicpaul91 — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 02:41:10 GMT

I am a little annoyed when I am searching in recent times.

When I wish to search through a sellers listings, I am asked to verify that I am not a robot by clicking which photos are a panda, bike, traffic etc.

However, this has occurred multiple times with the same seller in the same search. Worse still, after the verification, I am taken back to page 1 each time.

Not happy eBay.

Then you need to tell eBay how you feel

Or turn off your VPN when searching

Or clear cookies/cache etc etc

Or try another browser

Or incognito

Or not do things that makes 'eBay' think you are a robot

Must be the brand of computer wipes you use. I use my glass's wipes and works fine.

This verification is a good idea, but does not work for me. It is an inconvenient system, and it is also full of bugs. I have tried to contact eBay regarding this system not accepting/reverting to a new verification page with no success. As a veteran eBayer, I'm now leaving to other online shopping platforms. Shame.

So long

Really no need to tell other members you are leaving

Especially when several suggestions have been made on how it can be avoided
