Every time i look at a item listing now ebay has decided to smash a pop up page with a QR code.
How annoying..
If they gonna shove that in my face every time i look at a single listing it is gonna stop me from even looking at any listings and ill go somewhere else to buy.
If i feel like that them others will also so this will also affect my sales.. >.<
Whoever runs ebay is crazy

·8 months agoAdblocker removes it, but it can't remove the greyed out screen. Why isn't ebay doing anything about it? This is soo annoying.

·8 months agoWhy?
It is a requirement for sellers who have 'pick up' that the code be scanned to prove the buyer collected the item

·2 years agoI had a QR code recommending using the mobile app pop up once today.
I'm using a tablet - haven't tried it on a real computer yet so others who have not seen it may be on desktops??
If you are using a phone or tablet that could be why you have seen it -ebay seem to by pushing people towards mobile devices. Which I'm guessing is why desktop site now looks like mobile site.
As too why it pops up on every item you view the only thing I can think is maybe you are using VPN?? Lots of people have reported all sorts of issues using eBay and VPN.

·2 years agoNot happening here either.
Looks like the OP is on their own to sort this one out.

·2 years agoThe other option is have you signed up for one of those sites that offer to show you any discount codes available for various platforms or even retailers.
Half of them are rubbish, and do annoy as well.

·2 years agoNo QR codes here either. I don't have an ad blocker on this browser, because I use it to read the news page and the news page won't let you access it if you have an ad blocker.
I'm going to go that you've got a virus. Run your virus scanner. If you use Norton or McAfee, download a different one and run that.

·2 years agoNo QR codes for me either.
I hope you didn't click on some link in a phishing email?
In other words... are you sure it is the real eBay site and not some site that wants to steal your data?

·2 years agoI just checked a few random listings, not a QR code in sight, and I don't have an ad blocker.
Are you sure you don't have a virus or some other weird happening setup on your system.

·2 years agoI wondered the same thing. I've not seen any of these QR codes popping up either and I don't have an ad blocker.
Brickblocks, I don't think it is ebay, I think it is your device.

·2 years agoHave'nt seen it sorry
Don't know if it is because I have an ad blocker or not
Either way, personally I don't have an issue with sellers having protection for pick up items from scammer buyers
eBay honestly don't care and won't notice if you leave
It does not matter to them in the slightest, and they are very unlikely to read your post

·2 years agoJust randomly checking half a dozen different listings for various things from all different sellers
Not one QR code popup in sight
There was one QR code on the home page about using the eBay app (and not a pop up at that, just an 'ad' on the actual screen)
Nothing on a single listing
So seems something to do with you and your settings/how to use the site
Change it if you don't like it
