Excessive captchas

Recently on my windows 11 pc, that is VERY NEW. I  am getting a REDICULOUS amount of CAPTCHA garbage. Im trying to delete items from my cart, and I can delete 2 or 3 items before i have to redo the stupid captcha garbage. It appears it's not doing this on mobile, but on several of my PCS I logged into my account with, ALL WINDOWS BASED PCS do this. My iPad and iPhone don't do this. Can we cut out the stupid captcha garbage. I understand it's to stop robots and bot snipers. But when I am trying to clean out my cart. This is going to take me hours. I have 95 items in my cart, as I look, I add then compare. Some I forget about and need to remove because I already bought the item I'm looking at.

 

This has gotten completely ridiculous with eBay and the captchas. I can fully understand when you log in, or during login process. Even after or before sending a message, or bidding. However, every 2 - 3 items I delete from my cart!?!?! Come on, this has to stop.

Excessive captchas

Excessive Captchas can be caused by several different things, including a browser blocking or not saving cookies (or having a corrupt eBay cookie), blocking certain scripts, using a VPN or hotspot, or using certain kinds of privacy software.

 

Try another browser to see if that makes any difference. If it does, try manually deleting just the eBay cookies in the original browser.

 

Make sure your browser is up to date and cookies and JavaScript are enabled:

You can clean out your cart or your Saved For Later list quickly using the app and swiping left to delete, rather than using a browser and waiting for the entire page to reload between deletions.
