When will the current problems with slow downloads or no down load with pages not redirecting

birdmaninoz — Sat, 12 Aug 2017 04:52:55 GMT

Any one else having problems with slow downloads or no downloads? Pages that do not redirect. I cannot revise any of my items through ebay australia, and Customer servicer told me days ago, there are a few other sellers also experiencing this difficulty, There suggestion was to use a different browser. I have already trued Mozilla and Google chrome, same problem on both. Can access and download pages on any other site, just not Ebay australia. I have been waiting for days for this problem to be fixed, but no one has got back to me.

I have paid for tech support, so all the standard, empty cache etc has all been done. He told me that it is obviously some issue with ebay.

Any one else having trouble with page redirects, jery or slow responses?

from a good few dozens posts on the boards about the exact same issues, it is wide spread

I have heard others say (or rather,read) they have been told by ebay

there are no issues

they are working on the issues

I do not believe for one split second they are working on it

I too experienced your problems last week and fixed them on both my browsers - Google Chrome and Firefox.

If your using Google Chrome, hold down the following keys, Ctrl,Shift ,Delete.The clear history tab will appear.Select all of the 4 following, Browsing History,Download History,Cached Image Files,Cookies & Other Site Data,Press the blue ''Clear Browser ''data button.Exite the screen and try signing in to e bay.

If your using Mozilla Firefox, open up your Firefox panel.Go to Firefox help (? mark symbol bottom right corner) on the browser,then trouble shooting information.I refreshed Firefox by clicking the refresh Firefox button (this removed my add-ons as well) but after refreshing and restarting my computer I re-installed my only add-on -ad block plus (took 30 secs) then I was able to log in to e bay and operate account/navigate site.

This may/may not assist you, however all has been good with my account for the last 7 days.I use Windows 7.

At present e bay is full of technical glitches, you, like myself and 100's of others are lucky just to be able to sign in and view items.As a seller at the moment I am experiencing difficulties in invoicing, the e bay invoice page has stopped calculating my buyers postage rate (Means I have to trundle off to Australia Post web site, and manually calculate postage, then enter this on invoice and send to my buyer), I have received payments from 2 buyers today through Pay-pal so I don't think your issue is a Pay-pal problem.I would send your seller a message requesting an invoice to pay, once sent you should receive a copy of this in your actual email. inbox.Depending on how your seller set up their listing, they may have to manually send you an invoice,rather than the auto e bay generated invoice (which maybe faulty).For some reason the Pay-pal system is not accepting your payment after you select the payment button.I would say it is a issue with e bay.As I said, try messaging your seller first and see if they can assist, and maybe check the feedback boards, as currently there are alot of technical glitches and solutions posted by other e bay members.

Re-directs are glitches.

If not already mentioned for slowness of the site, download a free adblocker.

I too have been told that they (ebay) are working on the problem and they will get back to me, it has been over two weeks and the issues are getting worse, not better.

I am certain that these issues started with the Mobile app compatablity changes. Ebay has told me that it is working fine on moble phones, also suggested that I use differencet browsers. Does not work for me with Mozilla, or Chrome, have had some sucess with explorer, but this may just be for my computer, may not work for others.

I have no issures with ebay Uk , Germany or US, it only appears to be affecting ebay AU. At least this is how it is for me.

Just not good enough.

This may explain the almost zero sales from the 15th Aug - had 3 normal weeks before then but lights out again.

Buyers & sellers alike do not want the hassles of clearing caches etc neither do they think of it, they just want to use the site - this is the sort of thing that sends buyers especially running. eBay has to be one of the most difficult sites to navigate and use.

All these glitches may also be due to eBay implementing in August, the new review section whereby buyers can message past buyers for an opinion of an item. This surely must have privacy issues and I would be furious if I received never ending messages asking for opinions on an item I purchased - surely this is what feedback is for????????????

Got to hand it to eBay - they sure know how to drive away buyers & sellers!

Please explain?

How can members find past buyers of an item when there is no facility to see who has bought anything due to ebay hiding member's identities?

And there is no way to see in feedback what a member has bought.

Even in the days before ebay became paranoid about privacy there was never a problem with never ending messages asking for opinions.

Apparently where you can leave a review there is supposed to be a drop down box of previous buyers - can only assume this will include links to messages. This applies only to listings that are in the eBay catalogue (listings that include bar code numbers).
