Is eBay Site Down 4U?

Well we could try that Pete. let me start it off with a guess?Lisa?

Beeeeeeeeeep.....wrong!

Pete it's Chicago (gee I never thought of China Town)

Shirley knows, but she'll never tell WILL YOU SHIRLEY

OK a clue? Is it a common name or a obscure name? And is it a name that would be common in a certain generation. Not that I am asking your age Miss M but my gues would be mid 30's

It's a fairly common name Taz ...
Mid 30's?? I WISH! Little older than that but I'll never tell

Don't forget, we don't know ninth_wave's name either....

What are we trying to take the focus off of ourself now?

Well yeah, kinda

Pete where ya at? Gotta keep guessing here! Brenda?

Brenda????????? WAY off base! Keep trying

Maybe we should move this over to the Lounge ?
I'm starting to feel a little guilty, and that almost NEVER happens

HA! You KNOW I'll never tell. mmm let's see how I can help the guys out... it's not gender specific, is it Miss M? LOL
About Chicago, I wondered China town too with a puzzled expression. lol Somewhere I saw Chicago... maybe BC, or did I just dream it? hah

Pete, I figured it was like "a bunch of hogwash" I ain't a Yankee, Southern born and bred. lol It's not offensive though. I love listening to people with accents talk, doesn't matter what kind. I could listen for hours, though I may or may not understand even half of it.

My guess for Ninth - Aaron

I've done everything I know to do and then some. eBay's loading now at least. Is still pretty slow though. Maybe I'll go hang out on the geek board and see what I can find. I'll fit in there like a square peg in a round hole.

Not gender specific? Only if you are talking about a Johnny Cash song!

I had something similar happen to me with Firefox about 5 months ago. And it only affected eBay , I could get to the eBay page but I could not navigate it. I had to completely uninstall Firefox and start it fresh again. To this day I have no idea what happened?

Hey Taz. Yeh, I did uninstall and reinstall it. As well as AVG and hmmm, something else that I don't remember now.

Scanning, there were a few spywares, no more than any usual unclean scan. I like those that come back with nothing. lol

Pete, I'd forgotten about Spybot so went and got it. I love that program and can't believe I forgot to put it on here.

Vista is an adjustment but nothing to do with whatever the problem is (hopefully 'was'). I dunno.

Hi all. You are absolutely not going to believe this!

This is the second time I've been dumped into the playground on eBay. The first time, I saw it happen and got right back out.

I suppose I've been in the "playground" all this time I've been having problems because as soon as I got out of it (just before coming here), everything is as fast as it gets on there!!! I'm sooooo mad!!!!

I have no desire to be in their stupid playground. grrrrrrr
THIS is where I play... well, on Ninth's POLL thread. lol

Oh I believe it! My ebay page keeps showing me that link 'checkout our new playground' or whatever it says. NO WAY...I'm afraid once I go in I'll never get out. I swear it amazes me that new users can actually buy things anymore. Not to mention the UGLY pages they've created--you go into your messages and can't even tell if it's been read or not, the white background is blah, the home page takes a few seconds to load (which is slow on high speed DSL) and you get the picture
OK my rant is over...glad you got to the bottom of the problem.

Isn't that just crazy! It's given me the link you get to, and I agree... NO WAY! I'm just in awe that it dumped me in there like that (twice), though nothing should surprise me. I thought the pages just weren't fully loading, after it would take forEVER for it to partially load. Well, NO, that's how it looks I guess.

And the messages, I know. It tells me I have a message or 3 or 6, can't tell if it's been opened or not without going into it and I've already read them. WHY is it telling me I have new messages when I don't? rhetorical lol

Okay, off my soap box, for the moment anyway.

Oh I know...it keeps saying I have a message when I've read and deleted it hours ago.
SIGH**We could start a whole ranting thread couldn't we I think EVERYONE would contribute to that one

Hi all, I'm back (don't forget I am sleeping while most of you are playing!).

So Shirley, you're a Southern Belle huh?

Miss Member, not a gender specific name? How about Terry? Or would that be Terri for a lady? Or Nicki?

And what is this 'playground' you are all talking about? I haven't seen anything about this?

Hey Pete,

Be VERY glad you're not dragged into that playground!

And BTW Taz already guessed my name but I think it's on that other thread....I think the 'gender' thing was about someone else.

Page 6 Pete, on our other neverending thread.

Hey Pete! Good morning.

Southern Belle... I picture that being like Miss Scarlet and that's sure not me. LOL Rebel is quite befitting.

That playground, it's just the opposite! Scary place to be!

Hope you have a happy day!

Miss M, I bet you're right about a rant thread would get more speaking up. lol Nikkii is my oldest granddaughter's name.

Jeez Shirley, you have a Granddaughter? Oh, hang on, what am I saying, I'm actually old enough to be a Great Granddad (although I'm not, as far as I am aware!)

Yes Susanne, seen it now, and responded

But what is this playground, I want to know how to avoid it!?
