Has eBay gone down today?

[GloriousGloria]

I can't connect on my iPhone or on the laptop?

Is it just me? I need to pay for some items and I can't get on.

[NorksEnormous]

Me too Gloria! Glad I'm not the only one!

[Poolbirthx2]

Yes - i cant get in phone or laptop?? lol

[GloriousGloria]

Oh thank goodness for that.

I thought the laptop had a nasty virus

[gerbiltamer]

Me too, both app and browser version. Hope it's sorted soon otherwise they will lose ££££s.

[stinkingbishop]

It's annoying, isn't it. Though it has made me think quite how much time I must spend on it!!!

[NovemberRainbow]

Me too, I have quite a few things for sale and loads of questions to answer.

[gerbiltamer]

Me too, I have a love/hate relationship with the site! On a lighter note, I really appreciate these eBay threads as I've learnt loads off of Mumsnetters. I don't really like the eBay official help forums.

[shotyourfox]

I find the eBay forums can get a bit aggressive!!

[buttercrumble]

Same here

[ScienceRocks]

Phew! I was worrying it was just me!

[PurpleFrog]

Me too - I have some items that end tonight and haven't been able to get the website to load at all. I hope they haven't had a security problem, and have taken it down. I am fed up changing passwords at the moment.

[AbsolutelyCrushed]

It's fine for me, on both laptop and phone.

[ScienceRocks]

Crushed, I'm crushed.

Not working for me on my iPad and I have tracking into to add, shipping info to put on and messages to answer.

Yet another reason why I'm thinking ebay is just too difficult for me...

[PurpleFrog]

AbsolutelyCrushed - that is eBay UK you are taking about?

I did find a web page that suggests there are a lotos people in the same boat:
downdetector.co.uk/problems/ebay

From the same site BT also seems to be having problems in places so maybe it is part of the network that is down

[PurpleFrog]

Oops - lotos = lots of

[stationtostation]

They had planned site maintenance this morning, so I'd imagine something has gone badly wrong. Bit peeved off as I've got listings finishing today and will miss out on bids.

[PigletJohn]

ah, that explains it. Glad I looked on here.

[Tommy]

glad it's not just me but........

[AbsolutelyCrushed]

Ha, how weird. Yes, I can access eBay UK. I'm at work, though, so no idea who the internet is through!

It's remarkably fast, which is probably related.

[PurpleFrog]

Got on now. They say:
