Need to book London to Munich reservation. Not possible

Thank you everyone who has reached out with answers. We’re very grateful for your help in a stressful time. We bought a flight to Munich to avoid possibly not being able to land a seat at the beginning of the trip. I was able to reserve one booking but the site seems to be struggling and the above links ask me to click on “yes” and there’s a green “yes” button, but no matter where I click (cell phone, laptop, tower computer) nothing seems to happen with the “yes” button and I cannot advance through the site. We will figure it out as we go. I truly appreciate all of you who tried to help us out with great suggestions. You were very thorough.

Is the site down? I’ve been trying to book and all it does is buffer. I have it on my computer and my cell phone, but my cell phone is getting a new battery installed and I tried using the app on my son’s phone and it wouldn’t let us enter our global passes in the app on his phone. It wanted us to block it on my phone.

What does it mean “No pass holder seats?”  Does that mean we might still be able to take a train but not reserve a seat?

I did write, and their response was that they're very busy. I'm confused about how to apply our passes when we book. Do I risk not getting a seat if I wait until we get there? I did a new search and they priced just one ride from London to Paris at over $600 for one ride. The same for returning to London from Paris. It's a $94 flight from London to Munich. Even less for Paris to London. If we book flights to be able to travel across the channel, we might be able to ride the train from Munich to Paris so he can ride the train at least once. How do I adjust our Eurail pass from 4 rides in 2 weeks to just 1? That could save us almost $600.

Thank you for the information. I wrote May 25 because that's when we leave Los Angeles and won't be able to arrange reservations until we land on May 26. I imagine 6 days ago I could have scored seats but no one in the community or Eurail answered. Now it looks like I'll need to cancel all our passes and book flights. I'm so disappointed because my son has loved trains his whole life. I really struggle to believe there's no tech support when reservations appear on the website but the customer cannot book. Thank you for trying. You were the only one.

When I'm on the website with either computer or cell phone I attempt to book a reservation on May 26 after 4 (we land at Heathrow at noon) and it shows me routes but the portion from London to either Paris, Rotterdam, or Brussels says that I need a reservation yet even when they show me the fees, I have no active way of booking it. It's all grayed out and says that if I can't book a seat I will need to buy a full fare ticket. I have first class passes. I've been trying to book a seat for 6 days. No one replied to multiple emails other than to say once that they're busy and will reach me when they can. We have hotel reservations in Munich and everything will fall apart if we can't arrive before the morning of the 27th. It's the same problem trying to book seats going from Paris to London on May 30th. I don't know what to do but after spending $774 for 4 train rides, now a friend is telling me to fly instead. I'm an American teacher who wants to show her son Dachau and Paris but I've spe
