Something fishy here, it's taken the .au off the end again!!
Even taken the .au out of the link, but when I click the link I posted above it takes me to .au.
Strange! Steve, that's exactly what it's supposed to do. Take you to your home ebay site. |

Odd Rui, I just used 2 different UK proxies via Google and they both landed on .co.uk.  |

Any of the ebay links here should work like that? |

Think I found the reason, the stupid VPN software is always generating German IPs even when the servers are supposedly located elsewhere. Ridiculous!

Well, most... .ca - Cananda .com.au - Australia .co.uk -United Kingdom .at - Austria .nl - Netherlands .de - Germany .it - Italy .ch - Switzerland .es - Spain .fr - France .ie - Ireland All those ebay sites will change to .com on the forum, but should direct the end user to their proper home site when clicked. Anyone not in those specific countries, for now, will still land on .com. I have to figure out where to send people in other countries. The countries above cover most of the members though. |

Well, my IP was from Germany but I was ending up on the .com URL.
I guess I don't matter much, though :).

Well right now PT is defaulting to US, is it possible your real IP is getting through somehow?

I just checked your method and the IP was being properly identified (used a specific file for the quick test). It definitely thinks I am Canadian, have a look:  |

I added a quick file through FTP that shows IP and Country and all checks out correctly.

It's showing the primary amount in Canadian dollars because the item was listed in Canada, the secondary currency is what it thinks you are which is US. So if PT is what it's finding, then its right. That's the problem with proxies, you can't see the actual url you're on.  |
