I suppose if nothing else, a few of us now have spotlessly clean computers! I forgot to mention that I also defraged too and got rid of about 20GB of carp!

I could access eBay and the forums without logging in, I just couldn't log in to do anything. I checked for any outages on their announcement page, but couldn't find anything. Maybe that came later, or it wasn't available to see unless logged in?

It was only when I tried to access the forums on my phone around 2am(ish) where I was able to logon, that I retried the computer. Everything worked then. Interestingly though, when I tried the phone app about 45 minutes later to check the eBay site, it had crashed again and kept logging me out. Each time I would try and log back in, I would get told I had no network connection.

I knew I had network connection because I was hooked up to the home network and everything else that required the internet worked OK. I even logged out of the router and still got the same thing on 4G.

It all seems to be working OK this morning, both the phone and computer. I'm a bit miffed that I didn't get more of the free listings used, but there were only about 6 more things I was going to list anyway. I still have plenty of my 40 freebies left.
