Seems to be working fine for US searches from my comcast connection.

eBay uses some strange load-balancing and caching, though.  What works here, may not work elsewhere.

Most likely a more local-to-you caching server got corrupted, or maybe BellSouth's routing tables got hosed.

I cannot get to it an all and I cannot ping ebay.com, but I just found I can connect if I use the IP obtained with dig. I cannot only get to the main page though, any links after that timeout.


Sounds like BellSouth's DNS is hosed.  Maybe try using an open DNS server, in the meantime?

hmm no, weird. I can load the IP in a browser and get to the homepage, but I can't ping it.


I'm not really sure you can ping eBay on a good day.  Don't they block ICMP?
