Getting a lot of "Network connection failed" pop-ups for the past 3 days or so.

"Failed to connect to eBay for "Search"
Please try again later.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect"

Clicking "OK" usually gets things rolling again. But they always come back soon. My AS session is now a clickfest video game.

No issues here in the UK at the moment. But I have had (and reported) similar problems before, seemed to have been an ebay thing that has gone away after a day or two. Yes, it's frustrating while it's misbehaving!

Ok, good data point there.

Still happening here.

It'd be nice if AS wouldn't... for the lack of a better term... "give up so easily".

As soon as I click the "OK" button on the pop-ups, AS begins processing sieve results immediately again... until the next error. So why not have AS try again on its own?

EDIT: Hey!!! My 100th post here! Very Happy

Go to Tools->Options->Sieve Actions and turn off "Display error when retrieval fails"
