eBay down: How to find out

Visit the website of AlleSt Stör.de, you will find a graphic with all error messages of the last minutes and hours. If you wish, you can also submit your own report.
The whole thing works similarly on the American counterpart DownDetector.com and on IstOffline.com. There you will also see the latest tweets from Twitter. Problems are reported relatively quickly here.
