i went into ebay today....and it did not accept my password (which i have had for years, since my joining).
i had to change my password. this was not an email, so i don't think my account has been compromised.
esnipe worked fine last night. this morning i couldn't request a total from a seller.
very strange. has this ever happened to anyone else?

I don't know but ebay was doing weird things for me last night too. Not password related but wouldn't take my bid and update, repeatedly...and Auctionsniper was having major issues and I couldn't use it at all....must have been a full moon or something....regards

I was able to to pick up a tough Walter johnson card last night via Ebay. After reading this I started to freak out that maybe my bid didn't go through with my snipe account. But, I got lucky and mine worked just fine.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, I kept trying to get into my account over and over again unsuccessfully. Eventually had to reset my password which took forever with the EBAY tech's

Although this may or may not be your problem.... read this:

I would suspect that your password was in some way compromised.  I've never had any of my real accounts ever compromised.  Many of my bogus accounts (like my email i use to sign up at spam sites with) have been compromised but it doesn't matter.  Don't use god or password or something stupid like that either.

From the selling side: Yesterday I was putting some cards up for auction and had a lot'o funny page jumps, errors, etc. But finally did get them up. Hey, for the volume ebay does (believe it or not there are catagories other than pre-1930 bb cards ), online problems are few and far between.

As far changing passwords, as long as you did it thru ebay site, I'd say your fine. At least you remembered to change your esnipe password. When I changed my ebay password, I forgot to change my esnipe to correspond. Then I wondered why my snipes didn't go thru for 2 or 3 auctions (of which I would have won, of course -- d'oh) !!!

Not the best way to start your day.

There are times when eBay is doing maintenance, often late night, and their site isn't in total working order. For example, the site looks normal at first glance, but the search function doesn't work or you can't open up an individual auction. Perhaps you entered your password/username during one of these down times, making it appear your password was goofy when it was just the site acting up.

problems for me last couple of days. It times out or goes to an error page when you're doing the snipe. Sounds like Leon and I are on the same problem log........

New problem for me tonight. It's not letting me delete items that have already ended from the "Items I'm Watching" list.

I'm also unable to delete ended items from my watchlist, and I'm unable to add items to my watchlist.

It's all screwed up. I'm trying to list a bunch of stuff (including a PSA 7 (OC) Beck and Tinker Brown Hindu--sorry for the shameless plug) and my usual preferences are gone. It's also giving me a lot of error messages.

Looks like they just fixed it.
