I don’t think it’s a DNS issue, internal problems. [Ebay.com down as the auction giant continues to deal with technical woes](http://www.bidnessetc.com/25579-ebaycom-crashes-yet-again/) Back up now, it appears. ---

I was actually planning to sell some stuff today. After my third failure to connect, over the course of about 3 hours, I decided that that wasn’t going to happen today. ---

Well I just tried signing in again and was told by the “eBay trust team” :rolleyes: I had to reset my password. First time that’s happened since I opened my account there in 2001. ---
