Why does Aust ebay page take 30 seconds to load , when US ebay loads instantly?

Your Telco, your browser, your glugged up settings?

Clear cache and cookies, change browsers or reboot. Or all 3.

Just to clarify - it is not an eBay issue.

Edit: is this such an issue that you need to come to the boards for the first time in 9 years? Is 30 seconds such a chunk out of your life? Go and make a cuppa while you're waiting.

ebay wants you to move to the USA

Coz ebay is a US company and you are upside down in relation to the US so of course the data has to climb up to your 'puter iistead of dropping into it.

eBay Australia pages mostly load very quickly, except for the "My ebay Summary" page (first option on the list under "My eBay" tab).  This loads quicker than it used to, but still has loads of info to load so is slower than other pages.   If this is set as your default loading page, then change it to "My eBay" or whatever tickles your wick.

The only thing that takes > 10 seconds on my ancient (2004) single core Celeron are the 200+ listings on the My eBay page, and the Popular on eBay column in the search results. It took 12 seconds for the images (currently women's shoes and a pink hooded baby/infant dress) to show up on the main page, but I don't normally visit the main page (it isn't even bookmarked). On ebay.com it took 13 seconds (also not cached or anything). Firefox is the only browser I use.

If I am listing 20 items I don't really want to make 20 cups of coffee while the pages is loading!!!

Well don't then. 20 cups of coffee a day is bad for you anyway. If you insist on 20 cups of coffee, I'd be switching to decaf.
