To add to this i left ebay several months ago with 4000 purchase/sales 100% feedback because of issues like this ,what is going on

Try contacting ebay on your phone. You can ring them or request they ring you by viewing this link on your phone only - not on a laptop or PC:

Why did you ask “someone” to change your user name? You can do it yourself, then it would not have got into this mess.

hi your link goes to this blank page
upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination
this is what it says thanks

you have to wait 30 days or something to change your user name when youve changed before,,the time had passed and there was nothing i could click on to change my user name ,i contacted an assistant who messed with it,they said was fixed,but obviously they messed it up.Hence where im at now.

Just to emphasise the issue IS NOT with me,it is ebay
16-05-2026 10:14 AM
Is that when viewing the link on your phone?
16-05-2026 10:16 AM
on my laptop,thanks.

As I said earlier, you need to view the link on your phone. It doesn't work on a laptop.

The one who helped from ebay seemed how do you say it 'seemed off'

The point is my ebay on my laptop was perfectly fine for several months until someone from ebay messed it up.

I've had that connection error message on a couple of occasions, it shouldn't prevent you from using eBay, it should just be a momentary blip eBay's end.
Clear cookies and cache, the problem should go away.
Or you could try a different browser.

May I ask what device and browser you're using here?

firefox browser with the same settings as when it was working before
and using a panasonic toughbook laptop.
Everything was fine until i got an ebay helper to help change my name.
Nothing has been changed at my end,until the ebay helper messed it up
16-05-2026 12:37 PM
What version of Firefox are you using?
16-05-2026 12:38 PM - edited 16-05-2026 12:39 PM
the latest and up to date,also rolled it back in case any updates caused it
16-05-2026 12:48 PM
I'm out of ideas then, nobody else has reported this as an ongoing issue that I've seen.
It may be worth asking on the Technical board:

thankyou for admitting out of ideas.Like i said i'll phone ebay monday and i may have a punt in the technical section.But looks like i.ll be giving the site a permanent wide berth in future.
P.S the link worked,lol.
