EBAY MESSAGES NOT WORKING

time*worn*style — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:20:30 GMT

Anyone else having a problem with the ebay messaging system?
i can tell I'm getting messages from my ebay page but when I go into My Messages they are either not there OR they are not showing the actual question just the user name.

any ideas as to why this is happening?

There have been problems with eBay messages over the last week. (eBay site issues)

Many threads on the discussion boards on the subject.

thanks but I can get into messages ok without it wanting me to sign into the German ebay like it was but its not showing messages from the people who are sending them

I can only tell from the number next to a listing in my ebay and when i go to messages it shows their username and a blank page

I think time*worn*style has figured it out in the LAST TWO YEARS since they posted.

Apart from the fact that the question was asked 2 years ago I think you will find that you mean "ad blocker" not app blocker.

I'm having problems with the EBay message system as well.

I can't reply to messages.

Writing text is refreshing, i have to put the curser to the next letter, for every letter.

Have you tried any of the suggestions in the many recent topics about this?

Unlikely to be the exact same issue now as it was five years ago

There's three or so topics from the past few weeks about this issue as it currently is

Yes, i'm unable to reply.

When I try to type a reply it just dosnt work.

My solution at the moment is to write my msg in Notepad and then copy and paste it into the reply window and then hit send.

It's a 5 year old thread, I suspect they have fixed the problem or found carrier pigeons by now

Unlikely to be related to the initial question from over FIVE YEARS ago.

Buy a carrier pigeon. Sorry this is a 5 year old thread, so any issues would most likely be different, maybe start a new one, detailing your problems.
