Any webtv people out there having trouble going from page to page in seller's auctions on ebay? I've been having trouble going from page one to two, etc. since last Friday. Also, can't enter myebay.

Yup, but is ebay's problem...not webtv. their my ebay page says.. "archive not available." feed back pages are screwy too.
Fellow Webbie here. Can't help you with MyEbay, but when you are searching and have trouble, there's a couple of things you can do. One is to reload, the other is to back button and try again.
Incidentally, WebTV and PayPal are still having trouble. I don't know if you use PayPal, but you get caught in a loop when you try to send payment. The best thing to do is to ask the seller to send you a PayPal invoice; that you can fill out with no problem.
I have to use my daughter's computer to send payment the regular way - but I still prefer my WebTV. I work at a computer all day, it is nice to sit back on the couch with the keyboard in my lap and watch my nice 29" monitor!

I'm typing from my webbie too, and although I can get around most of ebay with my webtv, I have trouble revising listings ("page too big" and can't sign on to the discussion boards there. Also found the surveys don't "take". Once in a while I encounter a problem with my ebay but I hit the reload button and that usually fixes it. Also on a long search list I will usually come up with a dud listing or two that absolutely refuses to load beyond the header.
As to Paypal, a number of us have raised the issue here, and through emails to Paypal. Paypal Damon said they were working on a fix but that was some time ago.
I am using Billpoint and the mails in the meantime.
I know there are only a million or so of us on Web tv, and we are active ebay buyers and sellers, so you think they would WANT our business, but their neglect speaks volumes......
I remember you from the PayPal/WebTV thread some time ago.
PayPal Damon did say they were fixing the problem - but it still isn't fixed. I can pay through PayPal if the seller sends an invoice form - that works fine.
I think the problem is between both PayPal and WebTV. And as you probably know, WebTV isn't very receptive when it comes to problems. Sigh.
I hope PayPal Damon will pay some attention to us and at least give us an update on the fix.

Thanks to all for the response. Whatever the glitch was apparently went away. I prefer webtv for most things, but I'm always glad to have this PC for backup.
