OT Mostly: Ebay sign in problem-Mozilla
 

I use Mozilla Suite for browsing etc. I went to ebay and tried to make a
bid on an item and was sent to the signin page (normal) entered my user
id and password and was cycled back to the sign in page - no matter how
many times I signed in. (not normal).
Loaded I.E. (slow crap) went to ebay ,same item, made bid,sent to sign
in page entered user id and password and was sent to the confirm bid
page (normal). Same system,same OS, Same modem, the only difference was
going from Mozilla to I.E. Whats up??????? Tried to deal with ebay
support and tried their suggestions - no help. Do they only recognize
I.E. ????????? Has anyone else had this kind of problem???? How do I fix
it??

Help please

I've seen this today on a photo posting BB and i'm using Mozilla under
Linux, I had refused to allow it to set a cookie some time in the past
and that was remembered. It just kept going back to the login page as
you say. You might try to clear out any cookies to do with ebay and
then try login again.

Edit-Preferences-Privacy & Security-Cookies-Cookie Manager-Cookie Sites

Remove any ebay cookies in there.

Go back one step, to Cookie Manager, and look down that list for any ebay sites.
If you find any, delete them.

I had a similar problem (with Mozilla). Ebay told me lots of things,
none of which helped. I suggested that they should fix their software so
that it worked with all browsers. They wrote back explaining that the
didn't just accept ideas from people, I would have to basically sign
that I didn't want to retain any rights to my idea to improve their
software....I told them this was a very unsatisfactory answer. They came
back with their first suggestions, no joy there. Tried deleting all my
cookies, etc.

I don't know how to fix it, but please do continue to complain to Ebay.

They seem to have changed some stuff in the past month or so, my Firefox
was displaying search pages and "myebay" pretty screwey. Seems to have
settled down now though.
