eBay

Hi, everyone. I don't know what is happening today, but my sign-in page is in Spanish. Not sure what eBay site I'm on...

I also tried to revise one of my listings with no success.

Is anyone else having these issues with eBay today?

Have you checked to see if the settings on your computer have changed or your browser? I ran into an issue yesterday where none of the devices connected to my computer would work. It appears Microsoft's latest update didn't re-install the device drivers during the update. Most annoying!

I haven't had that issue today but have had it recently. Spanish & Russian. You're not on the wrong site. I just keep proceeding and English eventually wins out.

I had a Spanish sign-in page today also. I went ahead and signed in and ended up on eBay.com (US site). I think the site is doing other strange things today, as well. Signed me into my second account, even though I used the email and password to my first account.

Halloween's tomorrow, right?

This was posted about within the past month, and it appeared to be a pretty common thing; which would indicate some wonky code on eBay's end, not a browser or otherwise userland issue.

I would get it frequently when switching accounts. Just hitting reload on the login screen fixed it for that session.

If it works, sell it. If it works well, sell it for more. If it doesn't work, quadruple the price and sell it as an antique.

OP! You might try signing out, clearing you cache and going back to the eBay.com site without using your bookmarks. I would probably run a virus scan as well, if you haven't done so recently. I run mine at least daily.

None of that has anything to do with the OPs issue though. It’s entirely an eBay issue.

Interesting! It seems eBay loves its glitches. So much so that once acquired they can't bear to part with them. :smileywink:

Thanks for all of your replies. I signed out and then back in, and the language issue seems to be corrected.

Any thoughts on not being able to revise an item?

Thanks again, everyone.

Was posting a listing on my iPad. A window came up from the bottom stating “this page is in Zulu. Would you like an English translation. Yes, No. X.”

Ugh. I X’d out successfully.

Last week I got a sign in that was in Russian. I was not happy.

One day last week, my sign in page and the SYI form were in German ... and this wasn't the first time 😞

I wouldn't be too concerned, mine has been in German (HALLO) several times within the last 4 weeks or so.
