HELP PLEASE. New laptop & problems with ebay

Can anyone please help me -I have been trying to do this for 2 days now. I bought a new laptop the other day and when I try to sell an item on ebay it keeps asking me to set up a seller's account (which I already have) - it takes me through setting it up again - and then eventually takes me right back to the start. Ebay have said to clear cookies and cache which I have done but it is still not working!

Any wise guys out there able to help?

Many thanks

    Do you have any security software (norton etc..) that could be set to block cookies? I've seen a similar problem with Yahoo mail login failing due to cookies being blocked.

    Also, have you tried another browser?

    Nortons can block it

    this is another browser

    although if it's nortons blocking it then that probably won't work either

    Install either Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ ) or Opera ( http://www.opera.com/ ) and see if you can log in. If so, then it would indicate a problem with internet explorer (which i am assuming you are using).
