Slow Ebay Problems

[Rolling Rock 33]

Hopefully someone out there can help me with this problem. Whenever I go to
an Ebay site, whether it's a category or an individual item page, and it
runs real slow. It takes forever to load the page, and even longer if I
click on the back button. Now this only happens with Ebay, not with any
other sites.

I am running a DSL connection, with a Linksys WRTGS wireless router. I am
wired into the router, and I have the firewall connection enabled on my
Ethernet connection. I have a brand new Netgear Gigabyte Ethernet card
installed and brand new Ethernet cable all over. I have a 2.6Ghz CPU, 1Gb
of SDRAM, and I am running Windows XP with SP2. I have both Ad-Aware SE
Professional and Spybot installed, updated and run them twice a week. I
have McAfee VirusScan 8.0 and McAfee Firewall 2004 installed as well.

Anything I missed that someone might need to know?

Thanks for the help.

What did eBay say when you contacted them to ask if they were having
any server problems?

Internet -> Options -> General Tab
In the Temporary Internet File section hit delete files and
in settings... set the size to about 20 MB for the cache.

I have not contacted Ebay, because it mainly seems to be on my computer. I
have checked several of my friends' computers and they are running fine.
This problem seems to be isolated with my computer. I reset the cache to a
smaller size and I did a complete scan of my system with Spybot, and
Ad-Aware Pro to check for spyware and adware programs. I have also checked
to see what programs are running to see if anything is bogging down the
system, but all seems to be okay. Any other suggestions?
