Why does eBay have the SLOWEST servers on the internet....unbelievable

I'm a seller and I find it hard to get away and go about the rest of my day because the servers are so slow and worse they continually get hang ups. Yes, we know that they have a large amount of traffic. That isn't an excuse - especially the amount of fees we pay. Everytime I bring it up with customer service they brush under the rug. What's funny is there systems are doing the same while I'm talking to them on the phone. Poor

No problems here. You might want to try clearing out cache, cookies, and browsing history. Which browser are you using?

I have noticed a considerable slowdown with the new Seller Hub updates.

No problems here on either my computer (wireless internet) or my phone (4G LTE).

I agree 100% ... eBay has the slowest servers on the planet.

 

I suspect it's all the tracking they do. Even with the software I use to reject tracking, it takes time to reject those tracking URLs & 3rd party cookies & ads and eventually accept the "clean" content.

 

Every site I visit, with the exception of eBay, loads almost instantaneously. And if I try to load another site in another tab while eBay is loading ... it slows THAT site down also ... until eBay is finished loading.

 

It's ridiculous.

 

Even with a fast broadband connection, eBay is S L O W ...Even with a fast broadband connection, eBay is S L O W ...

They spent all their money on a fleet of aircraft and taking Chinese honcho-sanh golfing. Those things are not inexpensive you know.

You're mixing Chinese and Japanese words together.

Never had a problem loading photos for a new listing until the very day they dumped me in Seller Hub. Now it is excruciatingly slow, if they even load at all. Hard to believe this is just coincidence, after 15 years of being problem-free.

I think this may be the reason as I don't have the same problems with other websites/pages.

It is your internet provider, your browser, or your computer. Ebay has been, and is  working fine with no problems at all on my end.
