Problems with eBay and PayPal

alex · Nov 21, 2011

Neither eBay or PayPal seem to be working for me and I'm not alone. eBay doesn't load at all and I can't get past the home page on PayPal. Anyone have any info?

Google is full of people complaining, but no word (that I can see) from the companies themselves.

Edit: been like this since yesterday so DoS?

Both are working fine for me

I don't use eBay, but PayPal works fine for me, have sent money using it today, no problem.

That's really odd because all other sites work fine for me, but eBay wont load on any browser and I can't log into PayPal. I've been following a few threads on other forums/Yahoo Answers and it doesn't seem to be just me

I don't have an account to login to, but ebay.com and ebay.co.uk load fast for me.

Thanks for looking for me. I've just flushed and reset my cache in command prompt with no luck. Shall try on one of my old computers and see if it's something wrong with this computer.

I've been using both today, every thing has been fine except for the royal mail integration for printing postage labels.

Thanks for looking. It's not working on any of our computers so could be a network issue. Will start by resetting the router and see what happens.

You could try sites like http://isitup.org/ (Is It Up?)when this happens so you can see if the issue is local to you.

I think Royal Mail are having problems today, because when I enter a tracking number on parcelforce.com, it takes me to their Royal Mail help page and says their site is experiencing problems.

Thanks for the link, I've saved it to use it in the future.

Well everything is sorted now, a couple of router resets later and all seems to be working. The thing that threw me was that this was reported by others so something must have triggered it.
