www.ebay.com shows "Service Unavailable - DNS failure The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later." and a number that changes every time you reload the page (example: Reference #11.3f15e8ac.1598791252.b98813a ). This only happens on the www prefix of the ebay.com domain name. Community.ebay.com is OK, pages.ebay.com is OK, www.ebay.ca is OK, but not www.ebay.com
This problem seems to be strangely intermittent.

Hello,
We were alerted to this outage this morning, and the team here jumped right on fixing it. It appears things are back up and working again. Thanks for letting us know and reporting on the issue!

Edit: This was a widespread outage, and not specific to eBay. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/30/tech/internet-outage-cloudflare/index.html

There seems to be a major problem with CenturyLink and widespread internet problems at many sites:

same here

Me too! DNS Service Unavailable. Is this an eBay issue or an internet issue? Other websites seem ok. Has anyone been able to contact eBay? I tried and have no success. It would be nice to know what is going on.

Same issues here. Can get obviously onto community board, but not my home page. Cannot ship or list. Would like to know what is going on.

You can't even talk to a person anymore to report or ask about anything. Right now I can't even get to their contact and help information. Very upsetting. I can't list anything, the important things are not accessible.
If anyone knows what is going on please post something.

Having DNS failure too.

DNS failure as well. I tried a dozen other sights and Ebay is the only one i'm having the problem with. cant load the page to contact Ebay or anything but the community pages. so what?... we can't list, ship, purchase, or make sales with no explanation or solution?
08-30-2020 06:59 AM
Is ebay aware of the problem? I have a bunch of listings ending this evening, and if nobody can bid on them, that hurts ebay just as much as me. There's no way of contacting them...
