Is eBay still down?

DiscoStu

It's been down for at least a week for me. 
Is it running ok for you lot?

Winny_Pooh

Been running on mobile app with issues at all. Try a different browser? 

Sporky

Fine here too, hence a lot of Lego arriving later this week. 

DiscoStu

The app doesn't work, and I've tried three different mobile browsers as well as desktop. 
'Server unavailable'

I've been checking downdetector for days and it keeps saying that there are issues.
There was an outage last week and I've not been able to log in or view any items since

ElectricXII

Desktop and app both working fine for me.

Likewise, it's been fine for me.  I've been on there every day this week and bought a couple of things.

DiscoStu

Just thought I'd try it using a vpn in Opera.
I got further in as much as I could actually view items, but when I tried to log in it crashed again, with the message

"It’s not you. It’s us.

Our server is down, but we’ll have things back to normal soon. If you still need help, visit our help pages."

Not had any problems with laptop, seems like a problem at your end.
Are you using a vpn

CKsam

I had an issue for a while with the bid/buy buttons and viewing images, but that seemed to be cookie related. Clearing them or using a private window fixed things.

DiscoStu

When it went down last week there were lots of news reports about it being due to a payment dispute.
It's clearly running again given you lot aren't having problems but it isn't working for me on any device or any browser.
I've tried clearing cache and cookies but still nothing, and trying VPN didn't work either

Just opened the app...no issues at all

DiscoStu

Just opened the app again and still the same. 



Tried the site on Chrome browser and it loads the home screen, but clicking an item gives this



I can't sign in on app or website. It's borked!

punchesjudy

working absolutely fine for me on phone and browser. Its not been down at all for me. 

Winny_Pooh

They blocked you 

kmajor

When using your app is it connecting via your wifi.  If so then try connecting direct from your mobile and see it that works. If that works then problem is with your router set up stopping you from connecting. Have you tried rebooting your router.

DiscoStu

It's not that either, @kmajor ;
I'm on Wi-Fi at home, using the app, several mobile browsers, and Windows laptop.
Nothing. 
The screenshots above are from in my work van and on EE.
Nothing.

So it's not my home IP causing it. I tried VPN to check that and it still didn't work.

ElectricXII

It's working fine today for me. Just sold something and printed the label. 

kmajor

Thinking about your mobile have you checked permissions etc on the Ebay app. A while go I wasn't able to get into Google maps, just couldn't connect with the website. A pal of mine looked at my phone and changed the settings on the Google maps app and everything worked okay. Can't remember exactly what he said but something about allowing Google Maps to connect with mobile.

ebay have multiple servers and you may be hitting a proxy which then proxies to more servers, I have seen this before, are you logged into ebay by any chance ?
