Continual verification/Error messages. Checking your browser before you access eBay

[fatbobfan]

Working this evening, and Im getting continual verification messages, with continual captcha probably about 10 in the last hour alone along with 'Checking your browser before you access eBay'  messages

This is on my Business Account and different browser Private Account, not logging in and out, just keep getting checked 

On Chrome, nothings changed in my operation, its what I do every time I log in/work my account 

Just me or are others/customers getting this as well, a quick G**gle leads me to belive its a tinkering issue?

Hi, I'm getting this as well - Private Account - Chrome is up to date.

It's really annoying, you can't use the "back to previous page" button either, just keeps showing the same listing!!

It's been happening for a week or so, only on my home PC not on my work PC or phone app.

Is "Big Brother" watching??

Please sort it out someone 🙂

I've started to get these this a.m. and thought this was eBay's attempt to copy Etsy, who are doing the same thing however, only at the initial login to the platform.  I was viewing items on my Watch List and each time I clicked on a listing the 'verifying your browser' message appears.  Nothing has been changed on my laptop so cannot understand why the sudden issue.

Are you using a VPN? Or on a network that has a VPN?
It stopped when I turned mine off.

Yes, AVG. I’ll check next time it happens to see if VPN is active or not.
Thanks for the info 👍🏻

I have been having these annoying messages for years randomly popping up in various different forms. It's not caused by VPN or AVG, they just want to pester you.

The new thing I keep getting now is messages before displaying pages telling me to hold on a moment while they check something like cloudflare? even when signed out. And sometimes they'll make me complete a cachapa when trying to view a seller saved in my bookmarks for no apparent reason.

Possibly it's all done to hinder bots.
