Frequently asked questions about GOAT
I was bidding or buying when it failed.
Do not repeat the action immediately. Check your account history first - the transaction may have gone through even though the page did not say so.
Are seller tools affected too?
Often, and separately. Selling can be broken while buying works perfectly, or the other way round.
How do I know if GOAT is down for everyone?
Look at the outage graph above. A sudden spike in reports means the problem is on the GOAT side and there is nothing to fix at your end. A flat graph points at something local - your connection, your device, or your account.
GOAT is down. What can I actually do?
When the reports are widespread, waiting is the honest answer - the marketplace is being restored by people who already know about it. Before you settle in, it is worth checking your internet connection and reloading GOAT once, because that rules out the handful of causes that look identical from your side.
Why is GOAT working for other people but not for me?
Outages are often partial. They can hit one region, one platform, or one group of accounts while everything else carries on. Your own connection, an old app version or a cached login can also produce a problem only you can see.
