I tried Firefox/Edge/Chrome/Brave on Windows/Mac/Linux and could not log into Ebay. The site "ebay.com" loads fine, i.e. it loads completely. However, when I click on "sign in" on the top left, 2 things happen:
If I enter my username, Ebay shows the error "ebay.com refuses to connect"
If I use my email, then Ebay shows some rubbish like:
"As you were browsing eBay, something about your browser made us think you were a bot. There are a few reasons this might happen:
You're a power user moving through this website with super-human speed.
You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser.
A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or NoScript, is preventing JavaScript from running."
A quick search shows people also struggle with Ebay signin on desktop:
cant login using Google: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ebay/comments/1azz3yg/cant_sign_in_to_ebay_with_my_google_account_on/
endless login loop: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ebay/comments/v57tmt/having_issues_with_an_endless_login_loop/
Most solutions suggest clearing cache or use another browser. I tried all of that and still could not get past the errors. On mobile browser and mobile app, it works fine.
Any idea is appreciated.
If you're just getting started selling on eBay, you may just be using the app on your smartphone.
There are a ton of advantages to using the desktop eBay.com compared to the app.
-Create listing templates
-Customize your listings with many more options
-Make your item description stand out with more fonts, colors, sizes, etc.
Change your preferences for shipping, payment, and unpaid items.
I highly recommend the desktop site. I'm sure this is known to many people but I hope it helps at least one person out there.
Every time I try to login it says “something went wrong.” Works perfectly fine on my iPad app and PC. Even works on safari on my iPhone. I’ve tried deleting the app, resetting password, resetting phone, etc. nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? This happened after changing my username if that has any indication of what’s going on.
