My eBay problems

[bright.ton42]

I've posted this in Technical but thought I might get quicker response here .

Haven't been able to load My Ebay for hours.

Just a blank page.

Anyone else?

(Have cleared Cookies)

*sigh*  Clearing cookies etc was all I could suggest in your other thread.

Mine has been slower than a wet week but eventually does load.

Hi brighton, 

Have you downloaded a free adblocker on your computer ?

[bright.ton42]

No kopes.   the app with Fireflox seems to mostly block them

I often clear cookies and temp internet files then clear history on the browser as well.

Restart computer and things seem to work well.

The only other factor that slows the internet down is my laptop can get hot then the graphics can slow the internet down.

Hence a good adblocker helps.

I got a couple of erasers and place them under the laptop so as to allow more circulation underneath.

If you use a laptop, never use it sitting in it's bag. Gets hot very quickly.

If you have a desktop, I seem to remember you buying a new one not so long ago, a good idea is to vacuum the dust inside the box especially from the fan on top of the CPU and graphics card if applicable. (Whilst it's unplugged from power source)

what version of windows are you using?

is it a desk top or a laptop or other?

what browser are you using?

are you on NBN or other?

i was having problems a few months ago until i bought a new computer as my old one was running windows XP and firefox. (the microsoft browser started having lots of issues)

since upgrading to windows 10 i use google chrome for most things, i just use 'edge' for youtube.

still get the odd problems though.

usually find switching browsers cures them.

i have 3, edge, chrome and firefox.

Hi David and Kopes

Internet speed is ok, no probs with any other site just My Ebay. and Search won't save anything

Using newish Lenovo  laptop, Win 10,  have rebooted.

Not on NBN

at very bottom of page it says

loading data from adservice.google. com

whatever that means

Think I'll forget it now and try again tomorrow

Just as well I didn't want to bid on anything

Thanks for input  all

my windows 10 did an update today, took a while with NBN so that might have slowed things down

[wide-world-of-stamps]

Ours has been slow on and off for weeks.

Tried clearing cookies, etc but it made no difference.

It's slower on our main id, a lot quicker on the other 2 which have less listings.

Also, the main id is the only one on which we use seller hub, so maybe that has something to do with the problem.

Edit - we're using windows 10 on an almost 12 month old laptop.

Have just discovered it only affects my laptop. 

Tablet no probs. 

Myebay is not slow it just  won't load, have kept it open for hours.  

Happened before the updates came through. 

Don't use seller hub.

Could it be a virus?
