I can sign into ebay for low level activity, but not to change account setings etc. The page just refreshes like it was trying to open another window. I tried refresh of ten four and safe operating mode, but no difference. My computer knowledge is limited to basics.

    I can't reproduce this, sorry. I am able to sign in just fine to change my password. But I can only test the German version, not ebay.com. Maybe someone else can test this.

    Seems fine here on US ebay.com. No problems logging in or bidding on auctions. Is there a specific portion of the site that doesn't work?

    There are aparently two tiers of sign in on ebay. to bid or look is one. but if you try to see personal account or sometimes messages, it makes you sign in again even though you are signed in, This second sign in wont work. It works on safari so its the browser.

    Thankyou for working on this great product. If I go to accounts, and
    then view all invoices Im directed to a page that says
    please sign in again to protect... then I do, and the page refreshes
    to the same spot rather than back to my account. Ive been using safari
    when I needed to go to second tier login on ebay, but in the last few
    days safari seems to not be able to open anything with scrips.

    I can't test this because I don't have any invoices to view. Is there another portion of the site that does not work for you?

    Works fine here. I'd consider a profile reset next to see if you have a stuck setting (see How to reset your profile at lower right).
