The company posted the following note Friday morning Australia time on its announcement board:
“We’ve heard that some sellers are facing issues when:
- Trying to process refunds on the eBay site: They’re seeing the error message saying ‘we couldn’t process your refund’.
- Trying to sign in to eBay: They’re being asked to sign-in multiple times.
Our teams are aware of these challenges and are actively working to solve them. We appreciate your patience and will post a further update on the community when we have it.“
One Australian seller posted in the community forum that eBay told them to try to refund tomorrow as there is currently no workaround to refund a buyer otherwise.

I too am having great difficulty using the new format to purchase on EBay. I have been a member for numerous years but I will not be using this method of shopping unless I get the help I request. My last item bought (a clock radio) is a complete waste of money cannot get the station I want. Need to buy an adapter to have it work away from my computer. As a Pensioner I cannot afford to waste my money. I have been unable to do a message to seller. Very Unhappy
