Links on Ebay not linking to what they should.

    I'm very confused by this. I was on an ebay page, I clicked a listing and it took me to a page with a french maid with a little graphic box that says "Weclome to ebay.ie" and a search bar. There's also a link that reads "Why am I seeing this web site?" and it it's an email link.

    I've taken a screen grab of it below. It's slightly nsfw I suppose.
    It's happened on a couple of different links and seems to be random.
    Any ideas what's going? :confused:

    Also , this is the email link :
    mailto:info@whois-help.info?Subject=Inquiring about the domain ebay.ie, with status: NOTFOUND
    

    And the webpage :

    Alan - I'm also getting this on multiple machines on site. Looks like the site has been redirected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭ondafly


    looks like Ebay have fixed the issue


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    I noticed it was very random. I searched the "why am I getting this page" message and the email address and came up with "enom" or something, it's a web host.

    It was very very strange. I thought I was losing the plot altogether!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Ste.phen


    Sounds like they forgot to renew the domain or something :)

    dammit - just logged into myebay and got redirected to http://my.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&gbh=1&MyEbay=&guest=1 <-- and yet again my french maid appeared again !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭ondafly


    looks like ebay.ie is gone again - can anyone confirm this issue ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 486 ✭✭Cungi


    Yeah i'm having the same problem. Usually i'd be happy to see french maids :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 LeotCol


    Yeah I started getting this problem last night. I thought it was just my machine, as some of my friends were still able to use the site. It would let me get to certain parts of the site and show me the french maid at others.
    It seems to be quite random.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭ondafly


    what is the ISP people are using ? I'm on Eircom. I've contacted friends on BT, and they are not experiencing/enjoying this issue

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 LeotCol


    Yeah I'm on Eircom too. Perhaps it is only affecting us?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 486 ✭✭Cungi


    Afaik i'm on Eircom too. But at home i'm on IBB so i'll try that later. If anyone still really needs to use Ebay they can still sign in through Ebay.com and Ebay.co.uk

    EDIT: Ads arent there now but i'm being redirected to the sign in page even though i'm already signed in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,857 ✭✭✭indough


    im on eircom too, cant even get to the home pag ebay.ie


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Eircom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,196 ✭✭✭ondafly


    at home testing now on BT - and ebay.ie is working fine. Looks like the issue is eircom related !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Should someone contact either ebay or eircom so ? I don't like talking to these people and I'd bet that if you emailed/phoned one of them they'd tell you it's the other's fault/problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 Über Micro PCs


    Same here on multiple Eircom connections with multiple computers
    Interested in how this happened/is happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    Is there no other thread on Boards about this ? I checked Online/Auctions but nothing . Wierd.

    There's another thread at http://www.boards.ie//vbulletin/showthread.php?p=60300441#post60300441


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭ttm


    Think its ony Eircom, just got it back again tonight but it went this morning when I tried an old IOL dial up account and different DNS settings.

    Suspect its something that Eircom DNS server have picked up.

    Well it's ok on my IBB home pc. Weird.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭ttm


    Seems to be gone again. I checked my ISA server log files and found the source IP was 168.75.68.60, but an NSLOOKUP of ebay.ie gives 69.64.147.243 (which I think is correct) on eircoms primary dns server (213.94.190.235) but that NSLOOKUP was done after the eBay page came back again.

    If it happens again I'll see if blocking that IP makes any differnce.

    Edit also found a java script that is picked up from 168.75.68.97. If anyone wants more info before I swtich my logging back off let me know, but I'm only quickly scaning a log file by eay and could have it allllll wrong


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Rackstar


    Im getting the french maid now as well!! Malware???????????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Archeotech


    This is getting very annoying... Eircom as well but then I have another laptop on my network and it seems fine....

    Scanning my computer now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,443 ✭✭✭Red Sleeping Beauty


    It's random from what I can tell. It first happened when I clicked on a listing, and then when I searched for completed listings and then when I clicked some "categories" links on the front page and then it was happening on and off when I was just going to www.ebay.ie in my address bar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,450 ✭✭✭Dartz


    BTOnline... I get it fine.

    Takes a bloody age though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 SunMan


    its not just ebay, got this on the norton trial download site.

      I actually thought I got one from download.com last night too. See post #2


    1. Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Archeotech


      ran some scans and nothing! Then it started happening on my other laptop which I've hardly used in a while...

      Sent mails to both Eircom and ebay so maybe they'll do something.

      I just WHOIS Queried EBAY.IE and got the Following
       domain:      [URL="http://samspade.org/whois?query=ebay.ie;server=auto"][COLOR=#0066cc]ebay.ie[/COLOR][/URL]  descr:       eBay International A.G  descr:       Body Corporate (Ltd PLC Company)  descr:       Registered Trade Mark Name  admin-c:     ABD140-IEDR  tech-c:      CCA7-IEDR  renewal:     09-April-2010  status:      Active  nserver:     [URL="http://samspade.org/whois?query=sjc-dns1.ebaydns.com;server=auto"][COLOR=#0066cc]sjc-dns1.ebaydns.com[/COLOR][/URL]  nserver:     [URL="http://samspade.org/whois?query=sjc-dns2.ebaydns.com;server=auto"][COLOR=#0066cc]sjc-dns2.ebaydns.com[/COLOR][/URL]  nserver:     [URL="http://samspade.org/whois?query=smf-dns1.ebaydns.com;server=auto"][COLOR=#0066cc]smf-dns1.ebaydns.com[/COLOR][/URL]  source:      IEDR  person:      Susan Kawaguchi - Hostmaster  nic-hdl:     ABD140-IEDR  source:      IEDR  person:      eMarkmonitor Inc  nic-hdl:     CCA7-IEDR  source:      IEDR
      
      so as far i can see their website is still working, i'm on Eircom Anytime 150 (dial up) and i'm getting anything BUT Ebay,
      Problem is Definately Down to Eircom's Domain Name Servers.

      boo!!!
