Summary
eBay, Inc
enterprise legacy
EBAY is one of the autonomous systems of eBay, Inc., the online marketplace. RIS sees 15 IPv4 prefixes and roughly 27,600 addresses, no IPv6 on this AS, and — strikingly — only 1 observed BGP neighbour.
What it's used for
Corporate and back-office infrastructure for eBay. Every prefix the pack could resolve registers to eBay, Inc. itself, under a run of in-house netblock handles: EBAY, EBAY-1, EBAY-2, EBAY-QA-IT-1. That is a self-held inventory — no third-party registrants, no scattered space from other RIRs, nothing that resembles a leased or brokered block. The prefix list shows the ordinary structure of a large enterprise: a /19, several /20s and a /21 as the aggregates, plus a handful of /24 deaggregates carved out of 209.140.128.0/20 for finer inbound steering.
The single observed neighbour is the fact worth pausing on. A network of 27,000 addresses belonging to one of the largest e-commerce sites in the world ought to be densely peered if it were serving buyers directly. It is not. The user-facing marketplace is delivered through content-delivery networks and separate serving infrastructure, so what remains behind this legacy AS is the enterprise: offices, corporate systems, internal and QA environments, and vendor connectivity — announced through effectively one upstream path.
Notable
The EBAY-QA-IT-1 handle names an internal function (QA/IT), a good example of how ARIN netblock names are frequently internal department codes rather than anything meaningful about the traffic. Read the org line, not the netname.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-03, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
