Works for me. Same BS splash advertising that always comes up. Damn that is annoying.
Yes, but it *is* up. Same here. Probably one of the rotation web servers had an issue or something minor. -M<

Or there's a chance that you've got a trojan/malware install on the computer. I had someone contact me the other day with a nearly identical complaint, "Why have PayPal and eBay been down all day?" They were alternately getting a 404 or 503 for those sites, but everything else worked. Their hosts file had entries for ebay, google, a number of banks, common phishing targets. Even more fun was when I deleted the hosts file, after his next reboot it pulled an updated hosts file with new working IPs from somewhere. I'm guessing the malware phishers don't have a five-nines array of redundant proxies yet. :)
It appears they're really down. I just tried 'em, and the IP address that comes back really does resolve to Ebay's holdings.... Or someone scammed a whole /19 to make the whole thing up, in which case I have to hand it to 'em! Compromising one host is dandy, but a whole netblock is pretty damned festive! (AS11643 is reporting it, which again appears to be correct) Perhaps it is what it is and they're having karma problems.

It's a server (or farm) in the rotation. First 2 tries to get to eBay and PayPal failed from home but the 3rd worked. I managed to complete a payment on items I won, so the whole process from eBay to PayPal worked without any error code after those first 2.
