Summary

This might be the result of DNS caching. You can use DNS flush to remove the eBay API DNS information that stored in cache to get a new name resolution:

Windows

  • Display the entries in the DNS cache and send result to a file

> ipconfig/displaydns > oldDns.txt

  • Clear or Flush the DNS Cache

> ipconfig /flushdns

Linux

  • To restart the nscd daemon

% /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart
