When I send a message to the eBay seller,
the following error message appears.
I'm not the only one with this message,
I know other eBay users are also struggling with this problem.
why can't eBay solve this problem?

==================================

(((((Pardon Our Interruption...

As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:

You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed.
You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser.
A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or NoScript, is preventing JavaScript from running.)))

========================================

I tried chatting to report eBay agent of this issue.
then I can't even chat with the agent as the following message comes out.

=================================

(((((Sorry, we're having technical difficulties.
If you try again, I should be able to help you,
or you can search online help- online help.))))

==========================================

What is the matter with you?

It's been a year since I've had this situation.

Same symptoms in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
I've also deleted cookies.
I've done everything I can.
This is an eBay issue.

To report eBay Technical Issues only now,
Because I now know that there is a Report eBay Technical Issue page.

Please solve my problem.

That error message is coming from Distil -- a third party service that is used by eBay and other sites to prevent bots from scraping content. It can be triggered by disabling JavaScript, repeatedly interrupting page loads or interrupting a page load in a particular way. If you are using a link that is not redirecting properly and creating a loop, that can also trigger that message.

See here:

Try using an alternative link to contact sellers, such as the Contact link on the seller's profile or feedback page.

See also if you can contact sellers using the eBay app.

If nothing else works, try this link between 5am to 9:30pm Pacific Time to request a call back from eBay customer service if you are in North America:
