HTTP ERROR 431 when trying to access ebay.co.uk

Whenever I try to access eBay.co.uk homepage, or any page on .co.uk in general, I constantly get a HTTP 431 error.

I tried clearing cookies and cache, but it does not fix the issue. The issue remains.

I tried logging in incognito mode - that seems to fix it.

Yesterday I logged in on a new browser - that fixed the issue, but this morning that same new browser gets the error as well.

I can't seem to find out the root of the cause.
Have eBay updated and broken something?

Anyone else facing this issue?

Hi @apost6353 ,

Thank you for your post.

We’re aware that some customers have been experiencing intermittent technical issues since Sunday on parts of the eBay platform. We are actively working to restore full functionality as quickly as possible. Please see eBay's announcement on it here.

Thank you,
