eBay won't let me log in, strange message

9647ian — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:54:27 GMT

Hi,

All of a sudden I am getting this message.

Pardon our interruption...

As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:

You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed.
You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser.
A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or NoScript, is preventing JavaScript from running.

First it popped up when I was trying to sign out. It would not allow me, so I just closed the browser, deleted all cache and cookies etc. Then when I tried to log back in I got the same message. It will not allow me to log in. Javascript is enabled in my browser and as far as I no I do not have any Ghostery or NoScript plugins running.

Perhaps take a look at other threads - it's all there.

Yes, it did the same to me this morning

And another personal has posted about it also

eBay will pretend it will b escalated to tech if you contact them (it won't)

I tried to tell them about all the issues going on yesterday and they denied there were any issues

Surely they couldn't deny, sandy! That's disgraceful. There were huge issues all day, not just in Au but globally, apparently! So typical of ebay 'Help' though. 😞

Yep

Couldn't even be bothered after such a load of you know what

Damn, I went to chang Ids (on Edge) and got the same message. And I haven't changed anything. Now I can't get back in . 😠

No problems here atm, using the app

Yeah, I didn't have any problems until I logged out to change IDs, now I can't get back in. Strangely though, this 'Discussion Boards' thread that I have open under a different tab is still ok & working. So far! I'm not game enough to try to use it to get back to my 'My ebay' page, or I'll probably lose it too.

How long before you were able to get back in, Sandy?

sandypebbles — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:03:30 GMT

I don't know, I tried before I left the house and couldn't, I was out maybe three hours or so and was able to log in when I got back

No doubt the same nonsense will be back to enhance my experience again though

I am getting the same thing this morning. It was fixed after about 2 hours. But now it has come back again and I can't log in.

I got the same message when logging out. I just ignored it. Now I am back and find out I am still logged in. You must be logged in otherwise you would not be able to post here.

pnc75 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:57:33 GMT

Yes, that's what's weird about it! And yesterday I was definitely logged in (and could change IDs with no problems) but I couldn't poste here! Go figure!

Re: eBay won't let me log in, strange message

sandypebbles — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:01:48 GMT

Same thing, yesterday I was logged in but wasn't and that flip flopped back and forth

The I was logged in but could not post, so I logged out

Later on when I went to see if anything was working, I was logged in (despite having logged out)

It's utterly fubar

Re: eBay won't let me log in, strange message

pnc75 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:06:03 GMT

And I just managed to get back in. Dare not try to change Ids though!

More a SNAFU I reckon Sandy - what a chaotic day yesterday !!!!!!

Strange that the problem was only related to the boards and not the "my ebay" pages........thank the Lord.

Ok, so I poked the bear and tried to log out. Same message, but i hit the back button and I'm back to my logged in ID. What a complete & utter mess!

Re: eBay won't let me log in, strange message

sandypebbles — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:56:06 GMT

Such caca

What's the bet they will still deny there is an issue

Re: eBay won't let me log in, strange message

pnc75 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:01:00 GMT

Of course! Just like when they introduced the new 'cheap' postage labels last year!
