Just checked the .co.uk site and it seems to be working fine, what browser are you using?
Try a different browser and see if that makes a difference.

When was it last working?

if you can then you would want to do a system restore first before you format!

Also use a proxy server and see if you can connect.

How are you trying to access the site? Are you using a favourite link, if so try going via a search engine link.

what you could try is reset your browser to factory settings

IE --

go to "control pannel" then look for "Internet Options" click on the tab "Advanced" next click "Restore advanced settings" also click "reset"

click ok to all other popup boxs

next hit "Security" and make sure "internet" "local intranet" "trusted sites" "restricted site" are on the "default level"

resetting firefox

Code:

if this dont work maybe your router is blocking the site?? as my router has this option to block certain sites i put into the web interface.

hope this helps.

Router would not block any sites, unless you want to block that site.

There can only be 2 things:-

1- isp blocking the site. But I doubt they would do that because ebay is a well known site.

2- OS related.
