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.

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

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

Oh thank goodness for that.

I thought the laptop had a nasty virus

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

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

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

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.

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

Same here

Phew! I was worrying it was just me!

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.

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

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...

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

Oops - lotos = lots of

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.

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

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

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.

Got on now. They say:
