Slow eBay

[tapdancingmonkey]

Has anyone noticed how slow the eBay website is now?  It takes forever for the search pages to download now.  I think it might be related to the new "Pick up where you left off" feature (which is redundant, since they already have a "recently viewed items" feature).  Everyone needs to register a complaint, so we can get the website back like it was.

Any difference if you temporarily disable your ad blocker?

If that speeds things up when searching, try disabling just the Anti-Circumvention filter in Ad Block, or the ABP filters in Ad Block Plus, or the equivalent filters in other ad blockers.

Those filters have been associated with search results loading slowly and heavy resource usage in the past.

Not sure how to do that, but thanks.

What browser are you using?  It's a bit different for each one.

Did you try a different browser?

Not sure how to do that, but thanks.

Which ad blocker are you using? Common add-ons include Ad Block, Adblock Plus, and uBlock Origin. Many appear as a red circle, octagon or shield in your browser address bar. Clicking on the icon while viewing a web site should give you the option to disable ad blocking on the current site.

Otherwise, check your browser add-ons to open your ad blocker there. Then using the gear icon or "settings" should allow you to turn off individual filters while still blocking most ads.
