Title: eBay / paypal
Post by: Entwood on 28 January 2011, 12:40:13
Any one able to get into ebay or paypal ??

Both sites logon pages won't load for me .. I'm guessing it might be their server but if it applies to others that would confirm it .. :)

Most odd .. neither site will load ... I'll try a router reboot to get a different IP .. :)

Nope .. full reboot of both router and computer ... can't load either sites log in pages !!  Most odd

ebay is stuck on "connecting to securepics.ebaystatic.com"

paypal is stuck on "connecting to www.paypal.com"

Never mind .. I'll try later .. thanks for trying  :)

Just tried https://securepics.ebaystatic.com and www.securepics.ebaystatic.com also googled it and someone was suuggesting it could be adware/spyware and to clear out your internet options, delete cookies etc.

HTH

Must be something to do with AOHell as I get there using the phone on mobile 'tinternet but not through the router on wifi .. so every attempt via AOHell BB fails but via VF works

Odder and odder .... :(

I cannot connect to ANY secure sites .. https

The address comes up but just sits there doing nothing, on firefox the load bar is at about 50% .. on IE about 30%.

Cleared all cookies/history etc, done a full AV scan (avast fully up-to-date)

Now really puzzled :(

Right been onto AOHell by phone .. as their own links don't work  .... and after 15 minutes talking to India ( :(  ) it transpires that maintainance work is being done on their servers that "might" be the cause. In the last 10 minutes I have access to some https sites .. but not all. Perhaps some caches need to clear down before they all return..

Getting more and more hacked off with AOHell but I'm on a good deal and I wonder if anyone else is actually any better, and can I be arsed to change e-mail addresses evertywhere .. :(

They are all offering deals at present, I got £5 a month knocked of my Plusnet account just by phoning and asking for a better deal. I can recommend Plusnet, been with them for some years now. Excellent customer service. :y

Can't you keep your old email address? :-/ Mine is blah@blah.freeserve.co.uk but is now with Orange via various others but I have changed my account with Orange since they took over.

Usefull links .. :)

But in this case I know they are good as I can access them via the phone. It's only using my BB connection with AOHell that fails. It's not just https sites as I thought .. Seems to be a random selection of sites  :(
