Riley541. Hi David, I don't really see how it can be a browser problem when other forums etc. are OK including OCC generally. Even other overseas eBay sites(Newzealand,OZ etc) are fine. eBay will be fine if I go on now(for 3 or 4 mins) & then it starts to act up, pages jumping/stalling & so on. I can go on the Volvo forum & be on there for 2/3 hours with absolutely no problem. PayPal is no problem but I'm not on there long. I can search on Google & just let it take me from interest to interest:- I go to my club website/forum from OCC(which I have as my home page) & it loads instantly & is no problem. eBay UK is the only problem & will drive me away eventually. Thanks for your input,regards,JD.

After being all quiet for a few months, this old problem has reared its head again - or is it just me? OCC just seems to be getting slower and slower again down to this issue with fleabay.

I'll keep an eye on it. Occasionally I get a slow page load, which a hit of the F5 refresh key always cures, but maybe I'm lucky.

I am on Firefox and have no problems on here or E.Bay and I see very few adverts as I have an Ad Blocker add-on, not meaning to gloat or anything but I haven;t seen ant of tese kind of issues for some time and had happily forgotten all about them. I live in a rural area with rubbish line speed too.

No problems here Smile However I do accept that we all have to pay for the the services and benefits that we receive from the internet (its not all free!) one way or another....so if adds slow us down , so be it.

On the whole I agree, and I'd rather have a few ads than a paywall. I often quite like the fleabay ads on OCC, they throw up some interesting vehicles and looking at the pictures, of course, costs nowt. But when the ads freeze a site completely, or slow it down to the point that you have to keep reloading the page to make any progress at all, then it becomes a problem and eventually defeats the object altogether - there are sites I simply avoid because the advertising effectively stops them working at all on my internet connection.

Ok I've removed ebay for a while and will re-visit it again in future, to see if response times improve in the meantime.

Already seeing an improvement! What beats me is how there's no problem with it for a good few months then it starts playing up again.
