ebay rss feeds stopped working..

[q292u]

Sometime yesterday, all my eBay RSS feeds stopped working with an "unable to connect" error.
There is nothing wrong with the feed URLs, I've checked.
Has access to rss.api.ebay.com been blocked?
Can it be unblocked, a.s.a.p. ??

If you use PHP to fetch the RSS, port 80 has been blocked outbound to stop abuse.

Could you use javascript to show the RSS feed clientside instead?

Hi. I use Wordpress, and a plug-in called feedwordpress.
The feeds were working fine until Sunday, and then nothing.
This is actually a site-killer.
If this doesn't start working again, I'll have to move hosts.
(Which I'd rather not..)

So, was port 80 blocked on Sunday?

Yes, it was blocked.

The Admins have created a whitelist of IP's that represent legitimate use of the port. I don't know if they are "taking requests" for additions to the list.

Ok. Then can I PLEASE have http://rss.api.ebay.com added to the list?
If there is a list. If they are taking requests..
It's pretty important. My website here is dead without it.

** PLEASE ** ??

** PRETTY PLEASE ** ??

** PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP ** ???
