I have a major problem. My computer went bonkers today. I'm at a friends computer and I need to get to My eBay. I can't seem to find the link. I have many auctions go off tonight and want to notify them while I have access to a computer.
Can I get to My eBay from anothers computer?

Go to ebays main page and at the top in blue letters it says "my ebay". Click and you just sign in. You can access it anyhwere.
Bummer about the computer trouble! Been there last month! It is tough. Good luck! :0)

I believe you can
go to
http://cgi1.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayLogin
and login with your ebay name and password, it should work on any computer.

Packer, don't fret: it can be done. For the first 2+ years on eBay, I used my brothers computer for email, and a friends to do my auctions. I bought my new computer in March, and now things are much easier. Just follow the link that NeartheSea (btw, love your "name" left you. Good luck.

You can log in from any computer.
I access it from 4 different ones.
Your email may be another story.
If you have a dedicated ISP you can get a Yahoo.com account and check your POP email that way. Call your ISP for help, they should be able to give you the bare bones to access from a remote hybrid (yahoo.com) type email.
Invoices and stuff like that may have to be hand done, I don't know if you use a service, it seems you should be able to access them, though I don't use anything that fancy.
Best of luck!!!

hey dman,
what about a library computer, could I get there from that?
I work at the PO all day tomorrow but if I can reach them tommorow night that should be ok, huh?
I don't like this computer, its one of those curvey things, really hard for me to type on.

Could be worse, at least it's not Christmas
Most libraries will have computers that will get you where you need to go.
If you're not in a big city, your best bet may be a local college/university library.
Good Luck!

PACKER..Yes, you can do that...just go to the sign in page and sign in. I was in your shoes last year and had around 27 auctions go off and no computer....had to go to a friends house to email and then had a friend of mine do some emailing/correspondence for me...I was really panicked and understand how you feel right now. I just had my friend explain what was happening when I could not and everyone was great!! Good Luck.....!!!

Head to your local library for instant FREE access to the internet. Just make sure you take your library card and your driver's license!
Good Luck to you!
If I can help by printing out your My EBAY and faxing it to you somewhere let me know at
[email protected] I will be there Friday until 4 pm eastern time. Make sure to include a fax number!
(If you don't have a fax usually office supply stores will offer to accept faxes for a fee.)

If there is someone you can trust, just give them your ebay password. They can do everything for you and notify the winners. You can change the password once you are back online.
There must be someone you can trust on these chat boards

My post office has access to the internet in the lobby.......too bad yours must not. Computers are available for rent from those rent to own places too.......that is probally your best option......to rent one for a few weeks.

Packer, I'm so sorry to hear about your puter problem. I access eBay from my laptop, so any fairly recent computer should be adequate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you "sign in" on any computer but your own, you may get a pop-up window asking if you want to remember the ID and password number you just typed. MAKE SURE YOU CLICK "NO"!!!! If you click "yes" by mistake, change your password as soon as possible (especially if it's a public computer).
Without eBay, I might have a real life...

One note of caution:
If you use a public computer (library, etc) be sure to SIGN OUT from ebay and exit the browser before you leave. If you just get up and leave, someone else could just sit down and be logged into ebaY as YOU. No telling what fun they could have with your account.

Another option I use when traveling is your local Kinkos. There is a per minute fee but you can usually get your basic stuff done fairly quickly. They also have printers etc...
