The Technical department is mucking about with the coding.

 

eBay’s coding is (in my opinion) a wild tangle of coding. Original coding has been “upgraded” so many times and subsequently patched to fix unanticipated issues that it’s now something of a Frankenstein’s Monster. No one, it seems, does proper beta testing before installing edits live.

 

The CS reps don’t receive correct information from Tech (in my opinion), and their default position is “Everything’s fine”. The Tech department won’t admit to making a casserole of it all. So the endless loop of deny deny deny goes on in a carousel of irresponsibility.

 

My access all through the last 30 hours has been intermittent, glitchy, and redolent of incompetence. I wouldn’t bother contacting eBay CS staff concerning it, as they are presumably untrained in IT, would refute documented and observable issues, and would have zero authority to fix the problem.

 

Were I an eBay executive, I’d be tempted to haul IT to the dungeon and tell them that every time someone tries to log in and is sent on this login goose chase, they (IT employees) would receive a little taser jolt. Bzzzzt! Bzzzzzzzzzzt! 

(Disclaimer: I do not own a taser and the above is said for rueful if frustrated comedic effect.)

Like sticking Blu Tack on a pothole 

Another 'world wide' issue that isn't happening 

 

Funny that

Bumping to the top, so hopefully no repeat threads

Likely the issue is related to the sitewide issues that others are experiencing for the last two days.

Which eBay flat out denied (of course) early this morning when told about it

I can post on this community forum but as soon as I go to ebay to buy/sell, I get that stupid message and it blocks me from getting back in.

Opposite way around for me. Could get into the board but not "my ebay".
