Any eBay seller's unable to log-in to eBay?

    I was unable to log-in to eBay earlier this evening, and was concerned that my account had been hijacked. I contacted eBay, and learned they had the same complaint from some other sellers as well. They tried to make this out to be a fairly insignificant interruption, saying I should be back on within an hour, but it's now been 3 hours.

    Is anyone else having the same issue?

    Yep, same issue a few times over the last 2 days or so. Waited a while each time and was eventually able to log in.

    I had the same issue on another site very similar to e bay. Perhaps Russian hackers at work?
    Change the password on your router and see if that helps.

    I don't think it's the router Paddy. I'm having no issues at all with any of the many other sites I log in to.

    When eBay Customer Support was assisting me, they linked me to my eBay profile page so I could change my password. Then I exited eBay and tried to log-in with the new password, and was still unsuccessful. eBay CS was on the phone with me the entire time, and was stymied. Then I was handed off to eBay Tech Support who indicated it to be a known issue, albeit with a limited number of members. They seemed to know the root cause, as if it had to do with a recently implemented code change.

    I'm frustrated because I won an auction with a sniping bid while on vacation and, now that I've returned, I cannot timely pay for the item or even communicate with the seller.

    Same thing happened to me yesterday, Mike. When logging in a message appeared that my user name or password was incorrect. That was using the eBay app, but it was trouble free using a browser.

    I've experienced the same issue whether logging on from my desktop or remotely with my tablet . . . both using the browser.

    Would it help if you gave me the seller’s EBay user ID. . . I can send him/her a message for you?

    I gave up many months ago on using my desktop for eBay. It won’t recognize my login at all. No problem with my phone or iPad using my home router.

    I just assume they made an “improvement” somewhere along the line.

    Finally got back to logging in normally today. Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions, and thanks especially to @DUNK 2 for his off-line assistance.
