I can't make out (and loathe) 'Crosswalks'. Unless it's a pic of the Beatles' Abbey Road album, I'm SCRE\\//\\//ED. 😖

You may not have changed anything, but that does not mean that nothing was changed.

Repeated Captcha requests or failures might be a sign that your browser is having problems saving cookies properly, or else a sign of a network issue. Using a VPN or a hotspot, or certain kinds of privacy software might also cause some issues.

Make sure your browser is up-to-date and has JavaScript enabled (and not blocked) and that cookies are not being blocked:

Try using a different browser or a private or incognito browser window and see if you run into the same Captcha issues. If not, try manually erasing just your eBay cookies manually in your original browser.

Try an alternative link to sign in to rule out an issue with a particular link:

https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

If you are using a mobile browser, try changing to a different browser mode: mobile, classic or desktop.

Or try using the eBay app.

I'm getting a lot of the captcha crap popping up today too. Have been on eBay since 2005!!!
