eBay won't let me log in, strange message

[9647ian]

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.

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.

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! 

[sandypebbles]

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

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!

Such caca

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

[pnc75]

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