I switch the proxy in kioslaverc and environment on/off via script during startup in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90environment.
In ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc I just change the phrase "ProxyType=0" to "ProxyType=1" during switch proxy on.
~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc:
...
[Proxy Settings]
AuthMode=0
NoProxyFor=charite.de
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=0
ReversedException=false
ftpProxy=http://proxy.charite.de:888
httpProxy=http://proxy.charite.de:888
httpsProxy=http://proxy.charite.de:888
So perhaps you readout the proxy from kioslaverc, but the proxy is off, if "ProxyType=0" is set?

Another thing: When I click on "Place Bid" it always loads ebay.com with the appropriate item. It would be nicer if it would load the localized site, in my case the german one. The currency is shown correct. Or has the plasmoid to be localized for that?

- it could be very interesting if user could add more items which could be scrolling like RSSNOW news do (arrows or mouse scrolling)
- what you said about currency is the most significant i believe. i think that krunner uses real-time values from ECB, so this should be easy for you.
Thanks again for your plasmoid

Is there any way for you to enable a localization? I mean the item I follow in the German ebay is shown with in US Dollars instead of Euros.

I have plans to show price in the currency of the site on which the item was listed and make possible to choice currency by user.
