Ebay not working on ntl?
 

I'm currently trying to notify the seller of an item I have won the bid for on Ebay today.

However whenever I get to the "My Ebay" section and click the "pay now" button below...

I get some connecting and then I get a "The page cannot be displayed" page.

I'm sure ntl's crappy proxies have something to do with this . . . it was working intermittently earlier :mad: :fit:

Can anyone else on ntl get to this page? Or anyone not on it?

Have you tried specifying a proxy?

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

Yes I am currently on "cache-2.herm.server.ntli.net" and have had it manually set at that because the BBC broadband does not work on my default one!

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

Try removing the manual proxy setting in I.E. temporarily to see what happens.

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

Tried that it still has the same result - that page cannot be displayed error.

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

are you using windows xp? if so it might be an issue with secure sites. Are you having problems with any other secure ones?

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

No I am using Windows 2000 Professional. I'm not having problems with any other secure sites to the best of my knowledge.

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

I am not having any problems with ebay atm - I presume I cannot test that specific page unless I actually buy something.

There are/have been loads of issues with EBay/ntl

I changed my proxy to "cache1-bstl.server.ntli.net" which is one of the Bristol ones and it seems to work fine now.

AARRGHH!!! Why do we have to play musical proxies everytime we want to access a certain site??? :mad: :fit:

:2up: @ ntl for these bloody proxies!

Top brass at ntl if you are reading - at least make 'em work if you want to have them, otherwise ditch them. Nuff said. :mad:

EDIT - Actually, scratch that. Ditch them alltogether.

It's all gone screwy again . . . :fit:

Time to move onto the next proxy. Today's question - how many proxy changes is it going to take before I can complete my bloody Ebay transaction? :rolleyes:

Online Petition Time?

They do cause more pain than good.

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

they been working fine for me today on ebay

cache10-mant.server.ntli.net
62.252.192.13

what site are you trying to connect to paypal?

Re: Ebay not working on ntl?
 

I'm trying to inform the seller of the method that I wish to pay them by and where to deliver it to. I do not do paypal as I do not have a credit card.

I shall try that cache and see what happens. ;)

EDIT - it does not work when I click the button :(
