Why access is denied so often?

[fraud_prevention_expert]

Getting random "Access denied" error messages more often than I'm OK to tolerate it. Tried changing browsers, clearing the cache, and using incognito mode. **bleep**?

Started to happen more than a month ago, will let me see few pages, and then goes bad until the next day.

Didn't yet happen on the mobile app, but on a Mac it's unusable.

"Access Denied" errors when trying to check out or pay usually indicate some sort of network error.

If you are using a VPN, try disabling it.

If you are using a custom firewall, that may be causing problems.

Try paying using your phone or laptop when not connected to your usual network wifi.

I am having the same problem -- started about a month or so ago. It doesn't seem to make a difference what I'm doing, whether I'm searching, listing, etc. It's very annoying and anything I've read here from the past about this problem doesn't help me.  It seems very random. I hope someone will respond here as I see people have had this issue for years. As a seller, I need to be able to access my account!
