eBay

Each and every page on ebay instantly seizes any browser I use causing long delays or computer freezes which won't clear without ending the process in my Task Manager.

Ebay's ad and picture servers are seizing the browser and taking forever to load if at all. I have opted out of everything possible to my knowledge and run ad blocker too but it's no help. It's time to split up the load on the ad and picture servers to more servers or something because their capacity is seriously bogged down. Who's got time to sit and wait minutes for each page to load? The links don't even go active until all the ads and pictures are fully loaded which is frozen. No navigation, no view, no scroll, can't even close the browser it's so seized by your servers.

Thanks for your prompt and serious consideration and repair of this site issue.

Has nothing to do with any computer, cleaning cookies and so on, this happens when eBay servers stall which has been happening about 20 times a day or so for the last 4 or 5 days, all you can do is close your browser out and come back again.

eBay will not fix the issue. You should install an ad blocker in your broswer.

Install free AdBlockPlus to block most ads in your browser. I have used it for years and many other eBay members too. It works for eBay and other web sites. This tool speeds up working on eBay a lot without all the moving ads.

Thanks for your reply. I have that ad blocker installed already. I appreciate your efforts. For what it's worth, I am actually attempting to get ebay to solve the issue for us all.

I'm in your camp, on your side.

What you'll learn is that each of us is seeing something different.

That's right. You were singled out.

I have been bombarded with ads.

Now I see very few, while you are under an avalanche.

These things are highly choreographed.

Well, maybe not 'highly', maybe sloppily.

Point being, this isn't something you can fix through customer service.

Now, if you knew someone on the board.....How much stock do you own?

For two days, I've had a long-running script error only when going into MyEbay that locks up my computer. Everything works fine on any other page on eBay. So frustrating to have to wait and wait and click and click on Recover buttons and Stop Script buttons and after about 20 minutes, it will finally work. Wish they would leave all the new and improving things alone and just let the site work for a change.

I notice a new listing page the past two days that they say will make our listing and relisting time so much easier and simple. Hahahaa I just can't access the page to print the shipping label unless I wait for 20 minutes while I jump through hoops.

If everything else works fine.......sounds like a stuck cookie for that page...... ie. there was an original problem and everytime it's going back to the same page/path with the error......

I'd try clearing cache..........

I hear ya. Everything was fine for about a week then this began. I've seen the same thing on youtube.com with Google's ad servers too. Of course there are mass of website online which carry this issue since a lot of folks tend to put too many ads on a page thereby overloading it to crash or lock up. When you get numerous ads and maybe a couple are animated or flash ads then you really land a bog down. Point is, it's not just ebay, happens all over the web. Thanks for replies yall. I appreciate it.

If that be the case, all they've accomplished is running me off the site which I was spending money on every day. I.e: You're telling me that they run off buyers by targetting their browsers. Why would ebay want to chase off buyers. Wouldn't sellers object? That makes no sense. Unless it's just something personnal by someone in their employ. With an account of less than a week, I'd think it a long shot that I'd run into enemies but I guess it's possible since the innocent have always been targets of tyranny in this world. I'd rather consider another possibility but remain open minded.
