Almost all ebay pages taking forever to load?

It's not my browser or computer - all the other sites I visit are fine; streaming CBS News, YouTube, Twitter - all no issues. Ebay on the other hand is loading like it's 1993 and I'm using Netscape Navigator with AOL dial up modem speed. This has been going on for weeks now. Hello, ebay? What are you guys doing?

Yup, slow pages ... slow sales ... the only thing that's fast is how quickly the glitches come.

Just for comparison, I'm using a Windows 10 OS with a Chrome browser, and eBay pages are loading normally.

If you have another browser installed, try loading the same page(s) on your alternate browser. Some sites run better with certain browsers over others.

If you use an ad-blocker, you might try disabling it for eBay and try loading the page(s) again.

Good luck getting your issue resolved!

P.S. I'm certainly not saying it isn't an eBay issue, but it doesn't seem to be universal, so trying to resolve things at your end seems like it might be a good idea.

I called Verizon (we recently got Fios High speed) and simply changing my Ethernet cable helped a lot - (it's just that ebay seemed to be the one site with the most issues - even when I had the older cable) - thanks guys

Oh, good! Glad you got it resolved!

I know it's very tempting (and very trendy) for all of us to "blame" eBay for every technical issue we experience on their website. Thanks for providing an example of why we might try to pursue other causes for issues we run up against when we use any particular website.

You did the absolute right thing to contact your service provider rather than just choosing to bash eBay and not pursue any other solutions.

Good for you!
