Is anyone else having troubles using Firefox to sell?

gumboot — Sun, 29 Mar 2015 05:23:31 GMT

When I attempt to Sell an item, it takes me to the log in screen but when I hit enter it just takes me back to log in. This started happening a week ago. I can still be logged in to My ebay but I'm prevented from getting to the selling screen. Luckily I can still use Safari but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Any clues?

clear your cookies, cache, history etc. Mine was doing it too.

That's been happening for ages, I actually thought it was eBay itself doing that.

Thanks harley_babes_hoard. That seems to have done the trick. I didn't even let it finish the process as it seemed to be taking too long but it appears to work again.

good I'm glad it worked for you too. I was in an endless sign in loop, I coudn't do anything else just kept getting the sign in page over and over.

I mostly use Chrome, but sometimes I'll use Firefox. A lot of the time I get stuck in a login loop on there. Restarting the browser also helps.

I've recently been told by both Paypal and ebay that there is and always has been, problems with using the browser Safari. Both organisations have suggested I use Chrome or Firefox. I have only recently experienced some issues with Safari (also, I am using Apple products).

Sometimes it doesn't always work out - take Windows and Internet Explorer for example, one is still going strong after nearly 15 years (XP, albeit no longer supported), while the other should have been dropped nearly 15 years ago (notably, IE6) and replaced with something more modern.

I do believe they are ditching it and replacing it with something more modern. I read something in the news about it the other day. It will become just another part of history, like Netscape.
