Starting today (5/18/23), when eBay first loads, can put mouse over search bar and
click anywhere, cursor will follow - can fill in search item, etc. While eBay searches
and refreshes (animated icon) still can mouse over search bar and click. After
the page is loaded with the items, hovering mouse over search bar (just the top
of the page) and clicking - nothing works. Again, symptom just started...
All Listings, Accepts Offers, etc. on down is OK - can click on buttons. Just from
that up (eBay, Shop By Category, search bar, etc. on up - mouse won't function.
Using latest version Chrome. Btw, Edge seems to work OK.
Any ideas? Any changes to eBay pages over last day or so?
Tkx

Having the same issue. I can do one search but if I want to do another search, I have to open eBay in a new window. Hope this gets resolved soon for buyers!

If the problem only happens in one browser, try clearing your cache ("for all time") and manually deleting your eBay cookies.
Then try temporarily disabling add-ons to see if one is causing a conflict.

I am having the same problem, tho' I first noticed it yesterday. I use Firefox. I put in a search, then when I go back to search bar to change it I cannot put anything else in. If I open a new window, I can put in one search, then nothing! I don't have this problem with any other site but ebay. So it's not my computer.

I don't have this problem with any other site but ebay. So it's not my computer.
That does not actually rule out an issue with your computer or your browser, though.
I can search without any problems. That would seem to indicate that the problem is not site-wide, or at least if it is, there is something you can probably do on your end to not be affected by it.
Likely the problem is an unintended interaction between your browser and eBay. Try another browser to see if the problem occurs in both. If it does, try disabling common add-ons in both to see if the problem is an add-on conflict. If not, try clearing cache and eBay cookies in the affected browser.

I didn't see this post before and posted the same problem.
It is a bug on the website, there are two empty divs above the menu and search box. It happens after a search finishes.
See image below:

Perhaps this is a Mac-only issue? Any non-Mac users experiencing this problem?
I am not having any issues searching on a Windows 10 machine in multiple browsers.

to replicate the problem you need to search, wait until the search is done and then try to search again. and do not scroll the page down

I posted about the same issue and I'm on a Windows machine. It's working fine on my partners' Mac though.
So, I'm certainly stumped.
