Is eBay down? Website not working explained
EBAY has suffered a major outage on Wednesday morning.
Hundreds of reports of eBay being down flooded Downdetector at around 8.10am EST.
A staggering 77 percent of reports complained of issues surrounding the website.
Another 21 percent of reports flagged problems with eBay’s app.
The remaining 2 percent of reports noted problems with logging in.
Users in Downdetector’s comments said they were having trouble with other issues, as well.
“Search ID not working on eBay,” one user simply stated.
“Bulk shipping is down too,” a second person noted.
“Can’t get it to provide the shipping labels for the 12 items on my Bulk shipping page,” they added.
“Went to check my watch list and it is currently empty, both current and past watched items and shouldn’t be,” a third person commented.
“Guess someone is telling me not to buy anything this morning!” they continued.
It’s unclear at the moment why the popular service is down, but according to website experts, it’s likely the result of server overloads.
eBay is a multinational e-commerce company based in San Jose, California.
The company was founded in 1995 by Pierre Omidyar and has since become one of the most popular websites in the world.
According to the latest data, ebay.com was the 2nd most visited Marketplace website last month.
