Sadly I run a only a relay therefore this is a troublesome action. So if more admins do this, I could be in trouble.
After reading all the answers, there seem to be only two solutions: 1. hoping that my IP get unbanned 2. shutdown the relay (3. surf over a proxy or VPN)

Hi everyone,
I`ve got an issue with my local IP address. I am running a relay about 1 year and since 3 or 4 weeks I can`t reach some websites like: ebay or ikea.
All I get is this message:
*Access Denied* You don`t have permission to access "Http://www.ebay.com/" on this server.
Reference # ____looong number______
I think I am on some blacklists. After I change my IP address all worked fine for only 2 days.
Can I do something about this?
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards Kalle
If you're running an exit, they probably saw abusive traffic, didn't like it, and blocked your IP. You could consider not running an exit relay from home.
If you're running a non-exit, then they're being dumb for blocking your IP when it is impossible for abusive traffic to come from your relay. Some webmasters who don't understand Tor do that, but there's not really anything we can do. Best I can suggest is you try talking to them, which isn't a very satisfying suggestion, I know.
