Hi All,
I trust I am posting in the correct section but if not, I kindly request the mods to move in most appropriate one!
I am in the UK running OSX Lion 10.7.5 & Safari 6.1.6 & have recently been having a major issue whereby I am persistently being asked to sign in again & again - I cannot even navigate from one page to another without having to do so & it is extremely annoying. This has never happened before with both Safari & Ebay working in harmony.
The issue surfaced about a week ago so I presumed it must be a ebay issue but it runs fine on Firefox. No other websites on Safari require me to keep logging in again & keep me signed in.
Safari is my main Browser and everything is set up on that so I would rather not have to switch between two Browsers and my ebay mail alerts automatically open up in Safari when clicked.
I have noticed that:
1) Certain pages have a different look & place information at different locations - e.g. on some pages when watching an item it is shown in bold on the top left hand corner & on others in the middle of the page in non bold.
2) At the top left hand corner it shows (pertains to account holder & name):
a) "Hello" as normal with no "Sign In" prompt & allows one to proceed normally
b) "Hello" & asks to "Sign In" even though I am & it allows me to proceed
c) "Hello" & asks to "Sign In" on every occasion or new page even though I just did - mostly the case.
3) I have noticed at when logging in, sometimes there is different information in the web address bar - sometimes it contains the words "my beta" & "guest=1" & other times not.
4) These issues seems to have started when ebay updated the look of their site & changes to how some of the things look & how they now operate.
I do not know if the above have any relevance but thought I would mention them just in case they are somehow.
I had a online chat with an Ebay rep & he said that there are currently no conflicts between Safari & Ebay.
I have so far deleted the cookies a number of times & done a full reset of Safari with all boxes ticked so I presume that also cleared the cache?
Very rarely can proceed for a few clicks ahead but 99% of the time, I get automatically logged out and/or am required to sign back in on pretty much every page or link I navigate to - it is driving me nuts!
Can anyone please kindly shed some light on how this can be fixed and/or resolved - I would be extremely grateful!
Many Kind Thanks,
Bazzy!
