Access to MyEbay.com.au

[bargain.street]

Hi All,

Recently work has put on a block on the my ebay page. www.ebay.com.au works but when you access myebay it's blocked. does anyone know how to get around this ie a ip address i can type into the http://? either that or navigate to another page to see my sales etc but not via myebay

much appreciateed.

Fair call Kayedon my son isn't even a fan of facebook and rarely uses it but had worked out how to do this in his first year of high school. Being a bit of a nerd it probably helped his social standing at the school a little 😛 I know it earned him a few kudos with the older students.

They can't do this anymore so the correct blocks are now in place. At the time I wasn't overly concerned there are kids his age drinking, using drugs and dropping out of school. It seemed pretty minor in comparison.

Digital Ghost, so I'm confused do you think the block would be on all the 'myebay' pages or just the op's?

I may be considered an old fuddy-duddy, but to me it is stealing.

With you on that one. I don't know about here in Australia but in the UK it would be grounds for dismissal.

If a company wants to restrict computer access they have an absolute right to do so and they also have the ability to very easily check to see if those restrictions have been by-passed.

If I was a boss then all non work related computer access would be blocked, why should I pay you to do anything other than work for me?

If you absolutely have to check your My ebay page during the day do it on a phone or a tablet, netbook or laptop with mobile broadband in your lunch hour or breaks, not on the company time.

If your boss read this then I suspect your days in the job will be numbered!

The block will be on all users - My eBay isn't a web page profile that has a unique URL for individual users. This is the URL:

http://my.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbay&gbh=1

Anyone who clicks that link will be taken to their own My eBay (or prompted to log in first if they're not).

I think you'll need to ask for a PA too- you can't possibly be expected to do your job AND do ebay - that way you can get your entire ebaying done during work hours and your new PA can handle the rest. If your boss handles this request ok, the next step is to ask for a driver.

Big question is will the OP ever come back or are they too busy clearing out their desk because their boss has been reading this thread?

Love it nouveau_retro. Thanks for the laugh.

People who expect to access ebay on work time are probably the same ones complaining that publically listed company facebook doesn't provide them with absolute privacy and freedom...

If you know the IP address of the modem/router you can get around it. If you do have the address, you have to hope that they left the user name and password as admin 

[patchoo78]

To find the IP address all you have to do is do a search for the brand of Modem/router and you can find out that way..

As the OP hasn't come back in 9 MONTHS, I doubt they're still interested.

If you worked for me and did that patch, you'd be unemployed very shortly thereafter.

For weeks now I've been having trouble with ebays browser. Wont fully load pages, locks up, and stalls out.

Seem to have started with the new look ebay. You know the whole cicles upon circles waiting for pics to load

I have 5 pcs at home and a number of 3g devices on wifi. All have the same problem.

It is random, and annoying.

Dose anyone else have this problem, or do you know if it is ebays problem?

I've been loging into the US to search ebay. No problems that way.
