eBay seems VERY glitchy lately. They must be 'enhancing' something. About 10% of the time, I get an error message while surfing through and working with the eBay site, but usually hitting the back button and trying again will solve the problem.
In the last couple months I've noticed that after an individual eBay auction page loads, my browser continues to look for another page (can't remember what it is, offhand). After about thirty seconds, it doesn't find it, the auction I'm looking at goes away and the browser goes to a 404 message.
This also occurs in the "Contact Seller" page, and other forms, which is pretty frustrating.
One cure is to click "Stop" after the page you want is loaded. Of course, my aged mind being what it is, I remember to do that about 1/3 the time.
The other cure which works better, is to use Firefox instead of IE 6.
Which leads me to believe that whatever page it is that is gumming up the works for IE probably has some content that won't make it past my firewall/security without further configuration.
It hasn't bothered me enough to make me want to expend the energy, yet.
Anybody else experience this glitch?
