    Maybe they are scrambling, but it sure seems like it is still working:

    http://cgi4.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPIComm and=RedirectToDomain&DomainUrl=http://siag.nu/

    That's a link to ebay.com which redirects to siag.nu. And it doesn't look like a glitch, it looks like it's on purpose.
