This is frustrating. I not only lost my home page showing my listings, but I can't look at my friend's listings from my Favorites List, keep getting the sign in page. Wonder how many bidders will be disturbed by this inconvenience too?

Try deleting your cookies and temp files and trying again. I am not having any problems.

It's been happening for two days for me. And it don't matter which computer I am using either. Just another in the line of Ebay snafu's.

eBay recently changed their policy on expired auction searches and you can only view 15 days back without now paying for results. No doubt intended to bolster the flagging bottom line.

Fortunately other eBays are not affected - simply go to ebay.com.au or ebay.co.uk and you can still access further back for free without logging in...

I think I missed something. You have to PAY to search more than 15 days back on closed auctions? I don't get it.

The buzz out there is that starting July 4th, you will have to Paypal 50 cents to eBay each time you sign in, and you will have to sign in for EVERYTHING, including accessing your own auction listings, or even viewing the home page.

So, you'll pay 50 cents to sign in, then 50 cents when you click on search, then when the search items come up, another 50 cents when you click on a particular auction item, and if you want to then see the seller's other items, well, that's another 50 cents (and of course, you have to sign in for each subsequent step), and if you click on one of those items, yep, it's 50 cents (sign in), and then if you want to bid, you guessed it, 50 cents (sign in), and of course, you MUST confirm your bid, so that will be 50 cents, please (and don't forget to sign in).

Apparently, eBay & Paypal have not figured out yet how to get you to Paypal 50 cents to Paypal BEFORE you sign in there, but they're working on it!

You are kidding! That is CR&* ! If that happens, I am OUT OF HERE! No kidding. That will be the very last straw. Little folks like me won't make it. Yahoo's auctions are where I will go to start with. I guess I'd better start seriously looking into creating a website

Cookies are deleted and temp files are emptied, still have to find my auction in a round about way. I have only one item up now and I think it may be time to take the summer off and give Ebay time to fix their/our problems.

In one way or another, I think it's always April 1st on eBay...
