Is eBay down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with eBay right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check eBay continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are checkout or payment, can't log in, search not working, can't post or comment, orders or tracking, images not loading, website / app down and slow or laggy. Those are the options the report button offers for eBay, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With eBay specifically, eBay's regional datacenters, image CDN, search index, and checkout payment processors can fail independently, affecting different users based on their location and which listings or features they access. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For eBay, try searching for a common item like 'iPhone' on ebay.com from a different browser or incognito window. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on eBay's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly refresh the checkout page or resubmit bids, as this can lock your account or duplicate your bid. Wait a few minutes before trying again. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. eBay does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe ebay.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what eBay says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at www.ebay.com/sts, and it is linked further up this page. That is eBay's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to eBay or ebay.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need eBay's own support, not us.
