2. http://movies.half.ebay.com YES This is an eBay page. The domain name is ebay.com (“movies” and “half” indicate subdomains).
3. NO This is not an eBay page. Note that “ebay” is misspelled as ebey.
4. NO This is not an eBay page. The first single slash (/) is not preceded by the domain name ebay.com.
5. NO This is not an eBay page. Notice that there is no slash (/) after “ebay.com.”
6. http://page.@ebay.com NO This is not an eBay page. The actual domain is @ebay.com, not ebay.com.  (@ebay.com is as different from ebay.com as zebay.com, bebay.com, mebay.com, etc.  One character can make all the difference.)
7. http://signin-ebay.com NO This is not an eBay page. If the hyphen were a period, we’d be fine.  But it isn’t.  As in the example above with @, the hyphen could be any character and be just as wrong.
