Others have reported this issue, scattered, over many months.

No idea why, or what the fix is.

 

Try clearing cache, deleting cookies, and rebooting.

You can also try calling eBay.  Good luck with that.

 


------------------------------------ This is an automatic signature...attached to all my posts - maybe its directly relevant, maybe not... Upper right corner on this page, click 'customer support'. Type your question into the input box, and click the 'search' button. This will answer 99% of all questions posted on this board. And "payed" is not the past tense of the verb 'to pay'.

Is this answer useful?

I checked back because I remember others having this issue-one possible cause was if you had a Verizon Router-in which case you would need to call Verizon.

 

Another person posted the below which fixed it for them:  "I fixed the issue. I deleted everything in the Hosts file. Have not had a problem since. Windows 7 .........C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC."

 

And if all else fails as said you can try calling eBay and also wish you good luck there.
