ebay recursive login problem

I give up.

Did you even try the eBay community boards, as I suggested a few days hence?

They deal with eBay specific issues 24/7 and are the best people to help...

Tried them, no help there. However I think I've found a fix.

I am now able to view other areas of ebay by adding each url to trusted sites and unchecking require server verification.

So far this works for the following:

k2b-bulk.ebay.com.au

my.ebay.com.au

payments.ebay.com.au

signin.ebay.com.au

Presumably there will be others to add to the list.


Should I be concerned about unchecking https?

Hi not sure if this is still relevant I had the same problem and after reading your posts I was able to come up with the solution.

To fix it open IE goto Tools > internet Options > Security and then reset all zones to default levels close then restart ie and all should be fine again.

I have no idea what caused it.. I didn't mess with those settings to require them being reset but it worked!

Problem: Inability to login to My eBay repeatedly in a new Windows 7 system on 2-24-2010
Solution: Reset your cookies parameter to 'accept all cookies'. The problem is resolved immediately.

I hate to admit this, but it took me three hours to figure out where the problem was located. Eventually a message came up on the eBay login page telling me to 'reset cookies to the lowest security setting' Duh!

Well actually not just a different day but different alltogether!

I am experiencing the same phenomenon using Opera 9.6.3 on Ubuntu 9.04. Everything is exactly (!) the same:

- LogIn screen after entering credentials brings me back to same (empty) login screen.

- Credentials are o.k. and work with other browser. In fact even with Opera I can see that credentials are ok, because I get no error screen (as surely I do when entering bad credentials).

- Deleting coockies using browser or directly on file system won't help.

- I do get logged in and I can go to myEbay or other pages if I know the URL

It did happen before, than disappeared for a long time. Now it is back. Strange!

Deleting cookies does not delete cookies exceptions. This is where I had ebay cookies blocked.

I had the same for other sites. Removed all of the 'blocked' exceptions to cookies.

There is an ongoing login problem with ebay and IE. Login runs in a loop and never works. Other browsers are working fine. This is a long-term problem which neither ebay nor Microsoft seems to be addressing. It is not a cache/cookies/virus software problem. It is something going on between ebay and MS.
