I'm a UK buyer and I have attempted to make offers on a number of listings (UK sellers). Failed. I just get a 'www.ebay.com refused to connect'! Is this an outage issue? Ta Rob

'Is this an outage issue?'
--------------------------------------
There have been an awful lot of server problems on ebay recently.....🙁
I'd go away and try again later!

There is a major eBay server issue affecting many, you are not alone.
eBay are aware, and working on this, but it is intermittent, so perhaps try a little later on today, or even tomorrow.
However, if it's the app that you're using, some peeps have found uninstalling and reinstalling the app , the account is then accessible.

I am using the website (apparently my phone is too old for the app) I deleted all cookies ect but that had no effect. Still the same issues today, so i will keep trying and hope that it's fixed soon.

Hi all
I'm still getting the same error (Google Chrome)
It did work on 'Brave' browser so you can try that

Glad I found this post. Been pulling my hair out trying to make an offer 😤

Hi Everyone,
Had this issue on Opera browser, i could bid normally but when confirming a offer i would get message regarding connection refusal. I have logged into my ebay account with fresh chrome installation and i could place offers normally. This is really frustrating as I lost an item I was really excited to but.

Same issue on Chrome and Firefox, for a week now.
At least it isn't just me)
Edited to say I have to use my phones eBay app to make offers, does work there at least.

Hello. I am having same problem! I have been worried it is me. Do not know why. I am a light user.
06-05-2026 2:36 PM
Same here with me. I was hoping to find an eBay reply somewhere with words of reassurance that they are on it, but can't really find anything.

They had a bug for years where you couldn't change best offer to click and collect.
This could take some time!

Hi All,
Thank you for your posts.
Can those of you who experienced the issue with making offers try again this morning to see if it has resolved for you?
Thank you,

Looks like this issue was resolved. Submitting offers on Opera browser works as intended now.
Thank you very much.
