can't sign in, and can't attach photos when sending a message to a buyer
Summary: lud-4367 encountered issues with attaching photos to messages on eBay, receiving a "www.google.com refused to connect" error. They switched from Firefox to Chrome but were still unable to upload photos. pjcdn2005 mentioned a similar sign-in issue on Firefox and referenced other users facing the same problem on eBay. Eventually, both lud-4367 and another user reported that the messaging service was working again, suggesting the issue was resolved on eBay's end.
- I couldn't attach photos when I was trying to send a message to a buyer. I get the popup message with "www.google.com refused to connect" when I try to upload a photo to a message.
- Cleaned the cookies and cache on firefox, and now I can't even sign in with firefox.
- Switched to Chrome, and was able to sign in, but I still can't upoad photos when I compose a meassage to a buyer. I'm getting the same popup message, "www.google.com refused to connect"
What's happening here?

·2 years agoI haven't been able to sign into .ca on Firefox for a while though other browsers are ok.
Is your picture on your computer?

·2 years agoI see that on your other thread you added that you are having the same problem even without trying to send a pic. I just sent a message on safari without a problem but at least one other person is having the same problem as you.

Did you try signing into eBay.com and sending a message from there?

Thank you for the help.
As of today, my messaging service is working without issues.

OP2 years agoYeah, it's working now. Thanks. Someone on ebay's end clearly broke it, then they reversed it back. Boy, that was god awful. I don't usually sell a lot of stuff. lol
