I'm just to bang my head against the wall!!
I've been trying to relist my unsold auctions for the last hour, and I've been able to relist just 2 of them! I keep getting the "page can not be displayed" message every time I try to go to the 2nd screen (the continue button)
This has been going for months now.
First, it supposedly was the PayPal link the culprit on preventing the page from loading, then I was told to wait a couple of minutes before submitting.
Nothing works now. I used Vrane when it was free, and don't have any $$ on my PayPal account to pay for their services right now.
Anybody's having this problems, and how do you deal with it?

I have the same problem with Microsoft Explorer as a result I re-list through Netscape it works fine.
Or do it through vrane but there is a charge.
Netscape is the easiest though

Preacher4u : I had the same problem -- but there is a patch -- If you leave the screen open for 3 or 4 minutes before you hit the submit button - it will go through -- I don't know why it works but it does -- I posted a thread about this some time ago and someone very kindly told me about the delay -- It is a bit of a pain but if you open 2 windows and flip back and forth then you can be doing 2 at a time - I actually don't do that I play a game of solitare or whatever while waiting -- dee

Adrian:
I was told that if i used Netscape Navigator on a Windows platform, there could be trouble.
How true is this?

I have the same problem with trying to revise an auction I just relisted with AW.
The AW part went fine and the auction was up, but then when I went to revise I get the same error.
I'll be out 2.00 on shipping if I can't get this changed.
Ok So how do I look at it with Netscape. I have a Gateway and it came with explorer????

Thank You. Thank You. I did what you suggested and went and played a game of solitare and I was able to make my change.
What a system!!

Same trouble here today, but then I downloaded Netscape 6 and was able to relist over 50 auctions flawlessly. Here is the link:
www.netscape.com
I'd surely love to know why IE and eBay can't seem to work together.

Preacher4u.
I have had no problems with Netscape and windows works fine.
Only reason why I like explorer better is because the pages load a lot faster.
But explorer does not work with ebaY as noted with relistings but netscape does.
About to use Netscape myself to do some relistings.

I thought i was going nut's i am so glad others are having the same trouble..Just a small not vrane has this new button you check when relisted so it does not time out . I think it is a preset in the ebay system..why would vrane have the same problem as use???

I just downloaded Netscape 6, and even though it's painfully slow, I could relist with no problems.
What I want now is to see the faces of Bill Gates' minions when they learn that thousands of IE users are downloading Netscape 6 Just to relist on eBay.

Hello preacher4u. I just want to mention that Netscape 6 comes with the Aureate spyware module and if you don't want this program using your internet connection to call home you may wish to download the free AdAware program. It'll remove the bad guys and you should still be able to use the browser.
