ebay being blocked

[loxocemus]

Hi, I have an issue with Ebay being blocked for me most of the time, occasionally it works for a few days and then its blocked again, I can only access it via a vpn, this is the error

"Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.ebay.co.uk/myb/WatchList?" on this server.

Reference #18.1e3f655f.1774491197.fd2b810

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.1e3f655f.1774491197.fd2b810"

its the same regardless of browser or deletion of cookies etc. Does anyone have a solution?

P.S in HomeSafe settings i have scam and virus enabled but no other protection (other than win11 firewall/antiV)

Thank you and Rgds

hi, i never had to use a vpn before this ebay thing, its a random access denied error, occasionally i can access ebay normally, but it doesn't last long, i can replicate the error on 2 laptops and my mobile, its definitely a "source" issue....

Ah, you shouldn't have to use a VPN to access eBay, that is a wee bit puzzling. Or do you mean you use one habitually?

hi, thanks for the help first of all, regarding eero security all off, homesafe etc, no av in the middle, dns changes was one of the things tech support had me do, no difference, yes an eero  6 extender.

the speed thing is a job for a huge ethernet cable i suppose, the ebay block is a job for a browser vpn but that affects others pages so i have to turn it off and on. 1st world problems 🐵

"Range extender," another eero you mean?

Let's see if we can sort the eBay issue first. Have you tied changing the DNS server settings? Have a look here:

[loxocemus]

the speed in my bedroom with range extender was @260mpbs, after tech support fiddling same test, same position, same laptop, @90mbps sooo i dunno, if i'm next to main router via ethernet full speed, but extender speed is now 1/3 of previous before i contacted tech support.

Are your speedtest results on a device with a wireless connection? If so they will will always be liable to the vagaries of your internal setup.

As far as connecting to eBay is concerned, do you have the security settings on the eero active? Or perhaps other AV systems in place?

[loxocemus]

i have had several conversations with tech support, did various things, router resets etc all to no avail, except my fibre500 speed has now dropped to @95mbps according to talktalk's speedtest (+4 other bb speed testers agree), though if the eero mobile app is to be believed  (and i don't) its 516mbps, it always says this exactly, both up and down speeds are always within 1mbps of a previous run, i am certain these are fake results. running wifi speed check on mobile 105mbps, eero 516mbps.

tech support said i was getting a new ip address, router will be down 30mins, didn't say when, just buggered off with "if that doesn't help get in touch"?

so no fix, speed slashed to 95mbps and a vague fix, sometime......

any help, anyone?

@Gliwmaeden2 Thank you for pointing out this error from my side I sincerely apologize and will ensure it doesn't happen again.

@Thabile-TT 

You are repeatedly clicking on the wrong "reply to" button.

Your reply to @loxocemus (above) makes no sense at all as they were simply passing on my concern that you may be checking the wrong account. 

Please ensure that you are replying to the OP and do not tamper with my service. 

If it continues, I will put in a formal complaint and I have already mentioned it to the forum manager.

Can I ask, have you previously installed the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Assist app?

Can you open the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Assist app on your mobile device?

You can do this by selecting the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Assist app icon, or searching for TalkTalk Wi-Fi Assist and then selecting the app icon in your search results

@Thabile-TT, please ensure that you are checking the correct customer's connection.

You appear to keep addressing the replies to me, and my router is NOT on at the moment. 

I had a similar experience recently when another member of support staff looked into my service in error, and I do not want to see that happening again. "

I can see that your Internet connection is currently offline.

This means that your Internet, WIFI, Email or TV Service will not work properly.

Shall we fix that now?

[loxocemus]

I do not, no.
