Hi Rob:
It may not be an eBay issue at all. Frustrating to loose out like that at the last second. If your computer has been doing automatic upgrades or if you have installed new versions of any software, that may be where the problem has arisen. As we try to increase system security, some things break. The last few days, I have been unable to reach an email address and get the error, “550 relay not permitted”. Apparently it is a configuration issue between my server and mail program and the security which has set up by the recipient. For me, the fix is multi-step and too complicated for my simple mind.
What I can suggest for you is shut your system down and let it reboot, installing the latest versions of software where it deems this is necessary. You may even have to do this twice. Certainly the Operating System and your browser would be suspect in this issue I think.
Just a guess. Good luck
