Why are the ebay descriptions invisible all of a sudden ? Is it a temporary glitch?

I was looking at my listings and those of other dealers and right now as of 10:15 EST on 6/2, I cannot see product descriptions of any products on ebay. There's a security area where I have to tick a few boxes about identifying a picture of a castle from a series of football fields. I can't go any further than that. 

All I see is:

Anyone have insight on this problem? I can't see any item descriptions anywhere on ebay. Is it temporary and will it work itself out?

I am having the same issue.  Another day, another glitch. I cannot go any further than clicking on the capcha pics. This just started this morning when I was searching for an item, now I cannot see any descriptions. I hope they fix this soon

Until they fix this, here is a temporary workaround to view the description: 

https://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=[add item number here]

example:

https://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=165946301332

a workaround is great and wonderful. HOW MANY BUYERS are gong to go through all of that?
