It could be a DNS server error, try copying this 66.211.160.88 and then put it in the URL. If it works then you need to check some incorrect hosts files in your laptop.
how to check for hosts files:
Go to Search on your laptop. Set it to look in your hard drive and search for a file called Hosts . Note that there is no extension on that file. If the results show up with some files that have *.sam extension...those are not the right files.
Assuming you found the Hosts file on your computer, right click on it and go to Open With and select notepad.
If I were you I would just clear the entire thing and save it....or you can scan through it to see if there is an entry for Ebay and delete that line and then save it.
hope this helps!
