Goofbid security problems

Anyone else having problems loading the goofbid site? Chrome will no longer load the site. I get a message saying
This site can’t provide a secure connection
https://www.goofbid.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Hide details
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite. This is likely to be caused when the server needs RC4, which is no longer considered secure.

I do not have firefox but I tried goofbid with Explorer and got a "website blocked as it has security certificate errors " message so told explorer to display the blocked content and it tried to load the https version of the page so i could log in and explorer refused to load the page owing to security issues.0

I have downloaded firefox and that works fine.
Thanks for the comments.0 -
Sounds like goof bid use an old webserver with proven cracked technology.
Considering they keep your eBay credentials probably in clear text (as they need to authenticate as you, so it's not a salted hash), I'd take that warning as a good warning. How upset would you be if someone sniffed your password, and used your eBay account (possibly attached to your PayPal account)?0 -
