I didn't get the email, but I generally use www.ip2location.com to track addresses. Look for "demo" at the top of the page.

Then go to arin.net and see if e-bay owns that block ; if the ip address is from Nigeria, arin will refer you to Afrinic, or whatever RIR it's under.

Hi John, I also got one of these emails. It appears to be genuine, especially as two different sources directed to by Drudgereport, are talking about a rush to pass Internet tax regulation during this week without time for people to review the proposal and the White House pushing the same point. No matter your view point about eBay, their concern is real and should be of concern by everyone else. Particularly, as it is being handled to push it through so fast without the proper vetting.
