Ebay Capthcha spamming me, and help link is stuck in a loop.

I'm getting bombarded with capthcha pages (the "click these images to verify" page) for some reason, even when trying to do simple things like look at someone's feedback before buying. I'm a fairly high volume spender and have no issues with my acct so I don't know why I'm getting this.  

 

 Also, I found a bug on the captcha page. Ebay says "If you are having difficulties with rendering of images..." and gives you a customer service link. But, it's like a sick joke as the link just takes you to the exact same captcha page instead of customer support. It's been this way for weeks and ebay hasn't fixed it so people who get rendering issues are essentially blocked out of ebay with no way to contact support.

 

 The site feels like it's only being half-maintained lately. Hope they get it together.

I do not think that most users are encountering that. I know I am not.

 

Any difference if you try another browser or a private or incognito browser window, or if you temporarily disable your add-ons? There may be something about your browser, your settings or your cookies that is causing a particular problem for you. Blocking cookies (or third party cookies) can cause Captcha problems in some cases.

 

A corrupt cookie can cause recurrent problems; in that case, manually deleting just your eBay cookies once may help, as a blocked cookie might not be erased if you just clear all cookies.

 

There are network issues that can cause problems with Captcha, particularly if you are using a hotspot or a VPN, or using certain kinds of privacy software such as Ghostery or Disconnect.
