(semi OT) E-Bay broken?

So for days now, whenever I try to go to e-bay, I just get a
"loading...loading...loading" spinner and it never connects. I mean,
without e-bay, how will I know that people are still spending $20.00
on Carrion Coffins? Can other folks get to e-bay? Is it just me?

Thanks!

Sorry, Pete. It's just you.
I just had some of my auctions end a few minutes ago, actually.

Are you sure you're trying ebay.com and not e-bay.com? ;)

It's just you.

And why in the heck are you trying to go to ebay.com anyway?
Use this link from now on:

I don't know if that link leads to different results than just going
to ebay.com and searching for vtes, but some of those people really
have their heads in their asses... $1.50 for a single Jyhad-backed
Deflection seems a bit much, but somebody will probably pay it.
However $1.47 for Majesty, $2.00 for Zip Gun, $7.86 for.... CAT
BURGLARY??? I know it's rare, but who would ever, ever want a Cat
Burglary for any reason?

That link is just a clever shortcut to search results.
And the search "Vampire The Eternal Struggle" only gives 15
auctions as a result.
Search terms "VTES" and "Jyhad" have hundreds.
But the links like above do work:

http://shop.ebay.com/items/VTES
http://shop.ebay.com/items/Jyhad

Heh. Well, it seems to be working now. But I tell you--for *days* I
was trying to get on to ebay, and it would never load. And I just
wanted to leave someone some good feedback. Man. Weird.

You leaving good feedback? That is weird.
