    Hi soolin.
    What is being mentioned on the community boards? Has anyone found a solution? Its most strange.

    There is very little mention and the responses are mainly that it must be either a problem with the users PC or a very localised geographic issue. There is nothing that I can see that suggest this is anything more than a very local issue, but then of course if people can't log in they can't post.

    It's very odd though

    Its going to be a big problem for people like me who sold items yesterday and cant log in for information to post out!
    I had sold 8 items yesterday. I normally dont rush to wrap and label for postage over the weekend!!
    Gonna be some very unhappy customers if the issue is not resolved.

    I'm also BT. Are you unable to get on the site?

    The main post on the community boards is from someone who says if they use their BT infinity connection they can't access ebay, but if they use a dongle from another ISP they can.

    Again this might be a daft question as I am not techie- but could it be BT, is that possible?

    I'm with Virgin BTW

    It looks like that is the case as I have just tried my Vodafone dongle and it is working fine, however can not get on with my BT broadband. I have posted on that thread in the community board as well, thanks.
  • Just talked to ebay CS. The problem is definitely with BT. Strangely I can now get ebay after 24 hours without being able to access it. Hope it stays on.
