Hi, that's odd, I just tried it, Oct. 17, 2 P.M. Central time, and it worked O.K.

Yes, it is Jade (Jadeite), although the back doesn't look all that nice, the price seems to be fair.

Certainly not Qianlong as described... The style is all wrong for a start...Looks like a colour of jade much used in the 1920-1960s... Worth no more than $300
