eBay and Paypal - problems with website

Anyone else having problems with eBay and Paypal today? Both websites won't load on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I keep getting the message 'problem loading page - server not found'.

Sometimes my eBay page will load but as soon as I click on anything it will again say 'problem loading page - server not found'.

I've tried the usual, restarting laptop, deleting cookies and disk clean up but I am still having the same problems. Any ideas or is this a website problem? Thanks

    Both working fine for me.

    What happens when you try http://66.211.169.65/ in IE? (paypal)

    I get the certificate error page saying there is a problem with the websites security. I click 'continue anyways' then I get the 'problem with page - server not found' page.

    I've never had a problem with eBay and Paypal - only today. I don't understand why it's only those two websites that I can't access.

    Hi,

    Try using this checker.

    I've tried both websites in that checker and it says 'it's just you'.

    I'm unsure what I can try next. I've never had a problem like this before.

  • Hi,

    are you using a link in your Favs/Bookmarks, maybe something wrong with them

    Try these links:

    ebay

    PayPal

    I have tried to access the websites from my bookmarks, favourites and by typing in the address but still have the same problem. I've clicked on your links above but still get the server not found message.

    I am using my laptop at the moment but I am now going to try and access both websites from my PC (which rarely gets used) to see if I see have the same problem.

    You've cleared your cookies. Have you tried typing the URL in?

    Have you changed your security or privacy settings in your browser or firewall?

    Put "website security" in your Windows Help system and add one of them to the "Allow" list.

    I'm posting from my PC now. I'm having the same problems with both websites on here too so it's not just my laptop. Both laptop and PC are connected to the same router (wireless).

    I've tried typing in the URL but I still have the same problem. *Confused*

    I'm now having the same problem with Google. What is happening?!

    I turned the router off for a few seconds and back on. I can now access all websites without any problems :)

    Why didn't I think of doing that first. It's always the first thing I do but I just didn't think it was a network problem since it was only two websites I was having problems with.
