Pinging www.ebay.com [66.135.200.181] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
BTW, the TTL doesn't have anything to do with the speed, it's the Time To Live, or how many hops a packet can make before it gets dropped. In the above examples, it's 57, which basically means that if it goes through more than 57 devices (routers) before it reaches its destination, it'll get dropped and an error will be returned. This is useful in situations where you have a routing loop.
The Internet Ping command bounces a small packet off a domain or IP address to test network communications, and then tells how long the packet took to make the round trip. The Ping command is one of the most commonly used utilities on the Internet by both people and automated programs for conducting the most basic network test: can your computer reach another computer on the network, and if so how long does it take?
Sometimes traceroute comes in handy too.... (Windows is tracert)
traceroute Google
traceroute to Google (204.232.137.207), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

I'm an aspiring net admin, I know what a ping is for. I'm asking you, specifically, in your situation, what are YOU pinging them for? What are YOU trying to diagnose?
So, a poor ping time, then having the same site time-out is just a coinidence????
You didn't say that you were getting replies from a site, then it started timing out. You said that you were getting replies from google and youtube, but not ebay, which is in line with what the rest of us are seeing, and is indicative of ebay dropping icmp echo requests.

Uh..........try reading the start of the thread.
Here is a link to the Ping and Tracert commands, you might find them interesting:
Ping and Traceroute are two programs that can be used to send packets of information to remote computers for the purpose of retrieving information
