Ebay wont load....time for a new computer?

[JordanStaal11]

Yesterday morning I could get onto ebay. After work I couldn't. Even this morning I couldn't. Every other site on the internet works, just not ebay.

Any suggestions or is it time to buy a new computer?

Please help

Ive had that happen actually. Not sure why, but it fixed itself somehow. Did you try rebooting your computer?

Using IE? Reset it -> tools -> internet options -> advanced -> reset

Also try another browser.

also check your hosts file -> c:\windows\drivers\hosts\etc - there will be a file called hosts in there. Double click it and chose notepad when windows asks you what to open it with. If you want, post the contents in here and i can tell you if it's broken

delete maybe your cookies sometimes that help. seriously you dont buy a new computer because a page does not load .thats usually something on your end but can be fixed.

Try googling the problem. Lots of suggestions there on what to try.

Tried it, didn't work.

Tried Firefox, didn't work.

I don't know what the bottom part mean:

Found this, but don't know how to do it.....

If not, you might try looking for a "HOSTS" file on your computer which could be blocking the site. HOSTS files don't have a file extension, but contain sites that are blocked. (You can open, view, and edit the text withing by opening the file with "Notepage".)If "ebay.com" is listed within the file, you can simply remove it and you then should be able to visit the site again
