    Thanks. Creating a new user account seems like a drastic measure. I have emailed ebay for help with this as the problem is perculiar to ebay and ie8.

    One thing which I have noticed which may be useful is that ebay is keeping me logged in. I can access other areas of the site, forums, my selling items etc, but when I go to view the summary page I am asked to sign in over and over again.

    I tried signing in under another account and the same thing happens, BUT, when I then go to other parts of ebay, (forums, selling items etc) I find myself signed in under this second account.

    Something is clearly broken somewhere. It seems that I am in fact able to sign in, but I am unable to see anything beyong the sign in page, if that make sense.

    PS. Have tried ALL steps above. nada.

    Although, you know we have tried, I feel it is a cookie. That is why I suggested a new account. You go in, and you have to sign in again and get new cookies etc. Try the guest account if you do not want to make a new one. Just once to see.

    recurring login problems


    I have a new laptop with W7. I too have problems logging into various websites usin valid passwords through IE8. I also had problems with Chrome. I was successful with Firefox. I know this must be a settings issue in IE7, since Chrome also does the same. Why Firefox works i do not know but would love some advice from someone who understands this strange new W7. I like it in many ways but there are other features that make me crazy!

    Mr. Nosebleed is not crazy. It's the machine! I even set up new passwords with the companies and they failed also. Only Firefox enabled me to log in.

    Help us Microsoft!

    I also have login issues with W7


    I have the same issues on a new notebook with W7 and IE8. You are not crazy.

    I had these issues with several sites and valid passwords, kicking me back to the login page again. I installed Chrome and same problem. Finally I installed Firefox and it worked.

    It must be a W7 issue since two browsers did the same. Somehow Firefox avoids the trap.

    Any help from you guys at Microsoft?

    Also, the hover/click is making me nuts and I can't igure out how to turn it off. Takes me places I don't want to go!
    Thanks.

    Everyone who has had trouble with a website try this. In an administrators account in cmd type
    ipconfig /flushdns Let me know the results


    Type cmd in search to get that command

    tried that, no luck there either.

    i am actually logged in on the ebay site. just cant view the "my ebay" page without being thrown back to the login screen

    something tells me this is very much an ebay problem, so i've given up searching for solutions here - but ebay support are no help whatsoever.

    i give up.

    thanks for all your help guys, i did lean some things along the way, even if i didnt get my solution.

    ps - i never said i wasnt crazy :)
