EBAY very slow on Google Chrome

[spikey1971]

Is anyone else having issues with EBAY working with GC? It's VERY slow to load text and images and has eratic scrolling. Been having this issue for quite awhile. I use Firefox on my daily searches and it works OK.

I have the same problem with GC and the ebay app.

My "Paid and Shipped" page is loading very slow using Google Chrome.  All the other eBay pages that I use are loading quickly.  This slow loading started about 1 week ago for me.

The overall slowness has been going on for quite awhile for me with GC.

I've been having the same problem for weeks.

It happens on the My Ebay Summary  page.

I get a "Page Unresponsive" error.

I have tried "allowing" ads, but no change.

It doesn't seem to happen with other Browsers.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.

I'm telling you guys that Google and Amazon are in bed together. These are two of the largest companys in the world, and control everything. If you don't believe me, just search for something to buy and see what pops out first. I think maybe it's time to regulate these two companys. Very odd things going on. My sales are down 60% from 2 years ago.

I don't normally use Chrome, so I can't say whether it is slower now than it usually is. But I have not noticed any of the issues described in this thread. So what follows is not based on first-hand experience, take it for what it's worth:

"Page nonresponsive" is generally associated with a runaway script of some kind, but that could be caused by a lot of different things.

Slow loading text or images could be a result of problems with cached data.

It's possible that eBay's ongoing changes could result in corrupted cookies or problems with cached data. If you haven't already, consider going to Settings: Advanced: Clear Browsing Data: Advanced and deleting "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files" for the last four weeks, if not completely.

Worst case, under Chrome Help there are a few options to "Make Chrome Run Better" up to and including "Reset Chrome to default" (which will delete all your custom settings and passwords, I believe, so it's definitely a last resort).

If any of the above helps, please let others know.

Apologies if this is stuff you have already tried.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I tried "clearing" all cache, cookies, etc. but no change.

Everytime the Ebay Summary page is displayed, it "freezes" and I get a "Page Unresponsive" error message after 10 seconds or so.

I'm surprised more users aren't having this problem.

If the problem is limited to your Summary page, most of that info can be found on several other eBay pages (though not as conveniently). Currently the Summary page is having issues (unrelated to your problem, I think -- auction countdowns are no longer appearing, just showing the unhelpful text "Time Left"), so if the Summary is your eBay landing page, perhaps consider changing to your Watch List, Bids/Offers, Purchase History or Selling page if any of those are loading faster.

If the problem is related to an extension conflict, opening eBay in a "Guest Window" (the Chrome equivalent of Firefox's "Open in a Private Window") might work. If so, try disabling individual extensions and see if that improves your eBay performance when not in "Guest Window" mode.

Check Google Chrome for updates:  Click on the 3 dots in the corner and then click on Help then click on About Google Chrome and see if it will check for updates.   Sometimes it takes a couple times doing this to update.  But this might be the problem.  Many technical issues can be from not updated software.  By using CCleaner to clean out the garbage on your devices.  CCleaner is a free software or you can pay for more.  The Free works fine and is made by Piriform.

  Seems I have narrowed the field to an Issue with Google Chrome Interacting with E-Bay (Speratically) It Slows to a HALT only when making a revise to a current listing ... I am Seemingly not alone in this conundrum ... The Fix seems to be to complete the listings correction/s (Even when Not Finished) & Go instantly back again to Make the added other changes ... In / Out / In / Out / Till I drop Chrome Off 

Why Do I need to Update My Chrome Settings? Or Do I Need to? 

If I Update does this Update my Computer (That I don't want) I Like Getting notifications that My computer was unable to AUTO Update ... I Haven't fixed this broken setting since it occurred a Year Ago & I am now at tranquil peace (Freedom) In using my Laptop ... No Middle of my Listing Shut-Downs ~ No 1 Hour Holds to Re-boot ~ No Fear of a corrupt update (That INTENTIONALLY Destroys a Use of one's Computer) 

Why does Google Chrome Interfere with my E-Bay Navigation?
