Re: Anyone having trouble with ebay cannot look up items?

Error message:  The connection has timed out

The server at www.ebay.com.au is taking too long to respond.

 

Cleared cache, cookies, history, tried CHROME, IE and Firefox - rebooted twice

 

still nothing - this has been going on since yesterday afternoon - imagine how many sales lost for many sellers

Firefox has problems with firewalls at times,(maybe Chrome has as well?).

 

Have you checked your firewall to make certain that eBay is listed as a safe site?

Weird, it's not happening to me. You may need to clear the DNS cache-

 

How to Flush DNS in Windows Using the Command Prompt

Step 1 – Close all open web browsers and applications on your computer.

Step 2 – Open the Windows command prompt by selecting the “Start” menu and entering “cmd” in the search text field box followed by clicking the “enter” key.

Step 3 – At the command prompt, enter “ipconfig /flushdns” followed by pressing the “enter” key. After a moment, Windows will display a message similar to: “Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.” Once the message is displayed, the DNS will be flushed removing all incorrect entries.

 

The other way to do this is-

 

Step 1 – Close all open web browsers and applications on your computer.

Step 2 – Press and hold in the Windows icon on your keyboard and press the letter R, enter cmd in the search text field box followed by clicking the “enter” key.

Step 3 – At the command prompt, enter “ipconfig /flushdns” followed by pressing the “enter” key. After a moment, Windows will display a message similar to: “Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.” Once the message is displayed, the DNS will be flushed removing all incorrect entries.

 

Hope that helps but it may be an eBay problem.
