I have a friend who is also with Tiscali.
They have been toying with the idea of using ebid as both a buyer and a PROFESSIONAL seller.
They too cannot get access to ebid from Tiscali
I went round to their house yesterday to do the HOSTS fix for them, they do not dare do anything that involves 'messing around' with their PC, so I always get called in for that job.
I couldn't remember where the folder where the HOSTS file was and when it seemed to them that I was struggling.
After a while of me trying to find the HOSTS file they said
"oh don't bother, it looks as if it might be a bigger problem. We'll just stick with ebay"
