Ebay web site super slow to load

Ebay is super slow to load and often doesn't fill the page completely. Search and other functions so slow as to be unusable.  Is anyone else experiencing this?..

Yes, I'm having the same problem today. I was going to list some items but will have to wait until things get back to normal.

Re: Ebay web site super slow to load

What browser are you using? Is it the latest version?

 

Any difference if you use another browser?

Re: Ebay web site super slow to load

Oh, good! It's not just me, lol! I've been having the same problem with the search function for three days now, too. I will do an advanced search for something, then the results page comes up, but it is loading slower than molasses in January!! Good lord! When I try to click on an item I want to look at it takes forever and a day for the little finger pointing cursor to pop up over the item just so I CAN click on it. I thought at first, when it started the other day, that it was some kind of temporary system glitch and would be fixed soon enough. But nope. The problem continued the following day and is still happening this morning. Every other function I do on ebay is working like normal, however, so this glitch is just in the search function. At least on my computer. Hope ebay fixes this soon! It's frustrating as Hades!

OK, i "think" ive sussed it out..... I have ADBLOCK extension enabled in chrome, when i disable it the site speeds up to normal search speeds, i strongly suspect that eBay are deliberately slowing down some elements of thier site if ads are being blocked, TBH its about right that, typical eBay!

Try disabling individual ad block filter lists or other filter lists or custom filter rules -- possibly a computationally expensive filter rule is slowing things down.

 

Or try an alternative ad blocker to see if you can still block ads on eBay without slowing things down: Ad Block Plus, uBlock Origin, AdGuard.
