I don't think this is a problem with me as the errors started coming on last Saturday - and on all 6 of the PCs in the house.
The common factor is that all PCs run XP pro SP3 and Internet Explorer 9 - however I note that other people have also reported a similar thing starting around the same time as it did for me.
Ebay suggested disabling scripts and add-ons, all which I have tried but the errors persist on "line 0 line 78 and line 86".
I have even stripped down a PC and completely reinstalled the OS on a newly formatted disk and at first with the native IE7 all worked fine but when it updated to IE 8 the problems started all over again.
I have also tried other browsers Firefox, Chorme and Opera and they are trouble free - its only IE8 where there is an issue.
As the problems only started last week, and on all my machines at the same time, and other people have reported a similar thing, I can only assume something at Ebay has changed to cause the errors but they seem not to want to consider that.

I use Opera as my browser, and if I now view an ebay item page, most of the links from that page don't work. E.g the link at the top of the page to "my ebay" etc.
One would hope they are aware of the issues and will resolve them (revert back to the old version until they have fixed the bugs in the new one)
Tried disabling addons - no difference - other browsers all work fine but my systems are all set up to use IE8 so I don't really want to spend time changing that - especially as it worked fine up until this last weekend!!! Ebay seem very reluctant to acknowledge they have a problem.....
Perhaps everyone who experiences the issue should write to the customer help section at ebay
PS noted a mistake in earlier thread - "IE9" should read "IE8"
To see if that was true I tried using the USA site (ebay.com) as well and the same thing - no problems at all - even when browsing UK items.
I think this is pretty conclusive that there is indeed an issue with the UK site - I have informed Ebay so lets see if they respond.
