I had this problem a lot, as well as some others, so I reinstalled XP and all drivers from scratch. To my surprise, this still happens! I can get to the eBay starting page, but logging into “my eBay” or any auction gets me the “HTTP 400—Bad Request” page.

I have 3 computers hooked up to one router and have this problem only on the TR. All other computers can browse eBay without any problems.

I looked on the net for an answer and found isolated incidents, yet nobody has any answers. Anyone?

Clear your cache, does that help?

I have experienced similar problems with the Fleet credit card services page. If a login at a time when maintenance is going on on the site then for me to able to logon again there, I have to clear the Files (i.e. cache as mentioned by tifosi), else always the same maintenance message would appear every time I visited the site.

Thanks for the advice to both of you. I tried clearing the cache and this time my clicking on “my eBay” resulted in the login page, which is a step further. But signing in brought me not to “my eBay” but again to the same error page. Meanwhile, my desktop on the same connection worked fine at the exact same time.

Could it have something to do with the cookie, since it got as far as the login page before crapping out?

Also, it starts working when I have eMule on and am downloading. If I just turned eMule on and am only uploading, I get the same error messages. But whenever I am downloading, eBay works fine. Same as before I reinstalled XP. I am really stumped…

Yes, clear your cookies and cache this time. All temporary internet files.

Try going to “Internet Options” (in IE it’s under tools), go to the Advanced Tab.  See if “Show friendly HTTP errors” is checked.  If it is, uncheck it.  Then try again.  If you get an error, it will hopefully tell you something more specific.
