A number of people on various U.S. ISPs have reported to me that they cannot get to the "main page" of eBay; http://www.ebay.com. I (Comcast / Ypsilanti MI USA) also cannot access that URL; Chrome gives me the message "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" when I try. Curiously, both others and I are able to access deep links (e.g. links to specific items up for auction) on the site just fine. I have an example listing but do not want to include it in this message so as to avoid the appearance of spamming. Are any of you (not) seeing the same? Cheers, Rusty D.

Seeing the same thing here in AUS from multiple sources.

Can't load eBay.com/ on TWC here. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Nov 7, 2016 9:42 PM, "Rusty Dekema via Outages" <outages@outages.org> wrote:

Can confirm from Comcast in Silicon Valley (Mountain View, CA). Behaviour appears to be: TCP connection is established, but no payload response is given when a GET is issued. Simple example: $ telnet www.ebay.com 80 Trying 66.211.181.181... Connected to www-us.g.ebay.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: www.ebay.com {just sits here, doing nothing; I literally waited 4 full minutes} The reason you get a "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" is that many browsers have strict internal timeouts that are reached when it comes to request payload response. telnet, on the other hand, will happily stay there for as long as the TCP stack's timeouts permit. :-) I did not see any sign of a TCP RST or abrupt FIN socket closure. I can provide more detailed analysis if asked (curl can give a more thorough breakdown of time spent in phases), but the root cause for such behaviour are many -- I'd rather not speculate. DNS-wise, this is the result: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.ebay.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.ebay.com. 210 IN CNAME www-us.g.ebay.com. www-us.g.ebay.com. 58 IN A 66.211.181.161 www-us.g.ebay.com. 58 IN A 66.211.181.181 I see the same behaviour from both .161 and .181. I will note, however, that occasionally I do get back content/payload after some time, so I think whatever the issue is intermittent in nature (maybe something like 85% broken, 15% functional). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

That's good enough for me; thanks for the info, Jeremy. Interesting that it sometimes responds if you wait long enough; makes it seem like "not a network problem" in, well, a certain sense. -R On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 9:55 PM, Jeremy Chadwick <jdc@koitsu.org> wrote:
