captchas

[up2latemgs]

Hey ebay!! Your captcha crap's beyond annoying and is almost enough to make me want to quit ebay altogether after 25 years! Why must a buyer pass captchas JUST TO VIEW OUR OWN FEEDBACK? Y'all are getting ridiculous. How about concentrating on offshore sellers that use dropship from the US? It's getting old having to open cases on those con artist creeps. smh 😕

Repeated Captcha requests or failures might be a sign that your browser is having problems saving cookies properly, or else a sign of a network issue. Using a VPN or a hotspot, or certain kinds of privacy software might also cause some issues.

Make sure your browser is up-to-date and has JavaScript enabled (and not blocked) and that cookies are not being blocked:

Try using a different browser or a private or incognito browser window and see if you run into the same Captcha issues. If not, try manually erasing just your eBay cookies in your original browser.

Try an alternative link to sign in to rule out an issue with a particular link:

https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

Try temporarily disabling your ad blocker to see if that makes a difference.

If you are using a mobile browser, try changing to a different browser mode: mobile, classic or desktop. Try a desktop browser or a mobile browser in desktop mode.

Or try using the eBay app.

If you contact eBay directly, mention ALERT15299 to have your account added to the open ticket.

Hey @up2latemgs! We apologize to yourself and others that experience the multiple sign-ins and re-verifying. A fix was rolled out late Monday, January 13th and if yourself or others are still running into this please feel free to let me know.

It may have "rolled out" on the 13th but as of today, the 16th I've already had to solve **bleep** captchas half a dozen times or more. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to cover this mess. PS, Check out the time on my most recent need to solve this crap. I.e., JUST NOW! smh 😕
