AS6907 EBAY-DE-AS

EBAY-DE-AS is held by eBay Marketplaces GmbH, the group entity behind eBay's

European business. The technical and abuse contacts route back to eBay's network

team in San Jose, California.

What it's used for

• eBay's own corporate and service infrastructure in Europe. It announces a single /24, 93.94.41.0/24, sub-allocated under the netname EBAY-EU-1.
• This is company infrastructure, not a hosting product. eBay does not sell address space or connectivity.

Notable

• The footprint is tiny for a company of eBay's size: 256 addresses on one prefix. Most of eBay's user-facing traffic is served from its main US-registered networks and from CDN providers, so this ASN carries only a sliver of the business.
• The registry shows the corporate structure clearly: a Swiss-registered organisation (Bern) for the European marketplaces entity, a handle referencing the German operation, and contacts in the United States.

Interesting

• The EBAY-DE handle points at eBay's German operation, eBay's first foothold in Europe. The handle stayed put even as the registration consolidated into a pan-European entity registered in Switzerland, which is a common pattern: the legal owner changes, the RIPE handle does not.
