MR Chuffer Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Poor connection at time of loading? It's not been overlaid with style sheet. Clear browser cache, look it up on Google for your specific browser, then reload. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold GreyGhost Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 As @MR Chuffer said it's not loading all the data for the site properly. At the risk of trotting out the standard IT support answer, might be worth restarting your router/hub. Might also be worth checking TalkTalk service status in your area (https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Service-Status-Dashboard/bd-p/service) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 I've had this for a few weeks on Firefox - I put it down to the recent browser update that either Ebay hasn't caught up with, or some default browser setting has changed. I found it works fine on Edge so I started using that for Ebay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It's probably them. They don't believe in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am absolutely sick of the way they keep mucking about with the way their software works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2020 I've had that from time to time on Firefox. OK at present. Usually sorts itself out after an hour or two for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Eaton Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 The plot thickens Lynn (Mrs Eaton) phone is EE & she gets the same problem in the house also. Just switched the router on off. Talk /Talk service not operation at this moment. Off out & about with Dog & phone to see how it performs locally. BIG thanks obviously for your help & advice so far. Did not think I was so addicted to the Ebay site Peter 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I had this and found the fix. Works for me anyway - since Saturday am. Scroll down a bit in the comments, quite a few report this works. https://downdetector.co.uk/status/ebay/ I'm with Virgin Media. Turned the child lock off as suggested in the above and it works fine. Some are suggesting Virgin Media (talk talk also mentioned) firewalls / child saftey filters do not like whatever ebay has done recently. Hope this helps.

RMweb Premium DIW Posted November 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I've had this and similar other page layout problems on Ebay (only) on Firefox. The problem(s) will appear on some pages and others can be OK, all on adjacent tabs in the same window. I have found that I don't get the problems in Opera, so use that instead.

Peter Eaton Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi all. (been back at work & long night shifts last few days!) thus now much if any free time ) The problem as it seems sorted its self out After this visiting (https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Service-Status-Dashboard/bd-p/service) showed the line as then OK. previously when first given above the service check was unavailable so believe there was problems on the line at that time. though strange the only web page with issues was Ebay. Perhaps thinking a good thing not visiting their site for a few days off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir TophamHatt Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Also worth visiting http://isup.me But generally if other sites are working okay, it's just ebay that's the problem so restarting routers and this and that are highly unlikely to change anything. But I see you're using an older browser. Microsoft changed their browser fairly recently to a Chromium based browser (the same one that Chrome by Google is built from). "Edge" is the new name. It might be worth looking at changing and getting used to the new browser sooner or later as all these old ones are getting less and less secure and websites will start not supporting them, which will also cause issues like the above. Or they'll automatically forward you to the mobile website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
