  • I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I'm getting exactly the same problem. Looks like it's the usual Friday Ebay glitch. I've tried to click to bring up descriptions of items but that doesn't work either.

    I got the servers are undergoing routine maintenance please check back later message.
  • It shouldn't be beyond the realms of Ebay's technical dept to actually say that you can't sign in due to maintenance rather than get everyone panicing when it says that your ID or Password is invalid.

    I've just had a problem with my PC so naturally I was thinking the worst.
  • thanks - panic attcks which i suffer from went mad

    Time and time again, Ebay send the message: "we just don't care."

    J*** , I'd like to share this information that the eBay and PayPal systems will be undergoing general maintenance from approximately 7am to 9am on Friday November 15th. During this maintenance period, certain eBay and PayPal site features may be intermittently unavailable or slow and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.

    Please don't worry you will be able to eBay site as normal after 9AM.

    I bet ebay blame the user when these things happen.

    I used to leave ebay logged in 24/7. But then they started logging me out. They blamed my connection. My computer, Me and everything under the sun...

    Then a few weeks later it rolled out that you cannot stay logged in for more than 24 hours. So they tell lies...

    I never look at my eBay account early Friday mornings.

    I've never had the problem described in this thread, but I've experienced other glitches, which have worried me, until I tried again after 9am

    I just leave it well alone
