    Hello i hope this is posted in the right section.

    For the past couple of months ( id say 2 or 3?) i have been experiencing problems with ebay.

    The most common and usual one i get is eBay redirecting me to a ebay.cn ( china ebay) when i do no such thing. Another thing that happens is sometimes i get a message saying ''permission denied'' and i can't access the page.

    Or other times my browser says things like '' oops page not found''.

    I searched around a bit and it appears other people have encountered the same issue ( http://answercenter.ebay.com/question/search/searches-redirecting-ebaycn/1000314902).

    Before anyone asks i have already ran virus scans, malwarebytes, and anti spyware sweeps they all came up clear.

    I am using win 7 and the newest version of firefox however i tried different browsers as well : chrome, IE, safari

    Not only that i tried it in 3 other different computers as well with OP systems ranging from xp, vista, and windows 7 ultimate ( 2 desktops 1 laptop). They all encounter the same issue.

    All the computers are clean and have no virus or anything of that sort.

    I will mention something though a couple of days ago i ran some sweeps in my computer the newest version and update of malwarebytes did not detect anything however my superantispyware portable did. It detected a trojan called something like cvshost which it removed.

    After it found it and removed it i ran like 3 more scans and everything came up empty. Please note that i was already experiencing problems with the site long before this Trojan appeared not only that i mentioned the same issues is present in 3 other computers i tried to access ebay on.

    Now i think i know how i got this virus sometimes i type web addresses fast and misspell them at times and i accidentally get taken to another site ( ex. i want to go to www.kindle.com and accidentally type www.knidle.com or inkdle.com).

    I have found a temporary solution to my problem and it involves turning off my router and restarting it again. After i do so ebay works fine for some time or days then it starts doing the same thing again in which case i have to restart the router once again to be able to access the page.

    This website seems to be the only one that gives my computer ( along with the other 3 i tried) this issue.

    I have verizon if that matters
