I wouldn’t normally post something so stupid, but I set up a PayPal account this morning and ever since paying for my first eBay purchase of the day via PayPal I cannot get into eBay at all. I don’t know if eBay is having a problem (haven’t seen anything reported online yet) or if some cookie-bug-problem is keeping me out all of a sudden. Will someone please report back if they can get into eBay? Thanks. * * * * * * (and don’t even post that you need my PayPal account number to see if it works!) ---

I got in with no problem, **H8\_2\_W8**. No problems reported here, either; [http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml](http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml) Try again. Maybe you goofed up? 🙂 I used your link, and it worked fine. Peace, mangeorge
