eBay users spot the online auction house port-scanning their PCs. Um... is that OK?

I recall they had .dll in their URLs, but users weren't downloading DLLs to run. Any file extension in a URL is not necessarily tied to any particular file type, server-side. You can configure any web-server to run .dll extensions through php, perl, whatever, or even dispatch an entire domain to a single executable.
