Pardon our interruption... - cannot access any account related pages

Everything has been fine until Wednesday 20:00, after which I am presented with a barrage of "Pardon our interruption..." pages if I try to access any 'account page'.

 

That is to say, I can search eBay and view listings, but cannot access any page tied to my account. So I CANNOT view anything from purchase history, messages, account info through to most importantly - current sales, which are slowly building up and I cannot access them.

 

I deleted all eBay cookies, which meant I had to log back in, but no surprise - it takes me straight to "Pardon our interruption..." so I cannot log in!

 

Well, I do pardon your interruption, as this needs fixing ASAP please!

 

Thank you.

I am using Firefox v52.9.0esr - and before you ask, it is the last (most up to date) version I can use for my computer/operating system. Other alternative older browsers I have access to, also do the same thing.

 

Given everything has been working fine up until 20:00 this evening, and I have changed NOTHING on my computer, it must be some update or error from eBay's side.

 

I am having to get a friend post this on my behalf on their computer, because I cannot do so on mine because "Pardon our interruption..." prevents me from accessing eBay community help!!!

Check to make sure JavaScript is enabled. If JavaScript is being blocked, that error can be the result.

 

That error can also be caused by a bad link or a redirection loop. If you are trying to sign in to ebay.co.uk, make sure you are actually on ebay.co.uk, particularly if you find yourself on an error page or a sign-in page.

 

That does not sound like what you are experiencing, though.

 

Are you using Windows XP or Vista? If so, you may need to bite the bullet and get yourself a newer computer or a phone that can use a supported browser. Mozilla no longer supports XP or Vista.

 

Even if you find a way around this particular error message, you are likely to encounter more and more errors like this if you continue relying on an unsupported browser.
