I have been 'on' eBay for quite some years and never have I found the site as slow and cumbersome as it is now... pages take ages to load and my watchlists are now all but useless as they no longer display any end dates and times for items apart from those ending that day, so unless I am on and looking at the lists live they are now pointless. I posted a short while back about this and strangely within a few days those times and dates were back again. Alas they disappeared again about a week ago.
Due to the snail pace of the loading pages (I have 1Gb internet via ethernet cable on 3 different PC's/browsers etc) I even contacted my provider to complain about it but they checked and rightly stated that it was not the service that was to blame but eBays website.. evidenced by the fact that other sites I visit are still very fast and seamless. This site is becoming tiresome it even took me 3 minutes to log into this community section to post this. When clicking help there is nothing where you can tell about issues with the site. Do eBay monitor this, is there likely to be a response?

Sometimes older Pc machines need more updating,so start by clearing your cookies and cache and remove all files,apps and stuff you no longer need.
Do a full scan,and make sure all software updates are completed.
Make sure your browser is all update,and you can try a different browser for ebay, as you can have more than one on the go.

I use laptop & tablet with chrome & firefox,
no issues like you report & not any other ebayers coming here with problems.

To many windows and tabs open can slow the site down, along with ebay maintenance, and with all the issues the site is experiencing I'm sure that isn't helping either!

Not really helpful... Most folk just give up and come back another day..
I use 3 machine.. which have Windows 11 - Firefox, Windows 10 - Chrome and a linux machine with another different browser... I also have access to a Laptop and a Chromebook.. and it was rubbish and slow on all of them, hence my frustration and message on here, as I say most of the time I give up. If you cant provide a better response than you did, I suggest you give up.

Thanks for your helpful comment, turns out it was site maintenance causing the issues. All back to normal more or less now. 👍
