The discussion revolves around the intrusive nature of promotional tactics used by the eBay app.
I can't use eBay for anything at the moment. Can't search. Can't buy. Can't do anything. I am using a windows PC. Every time I open an eBay page a pop up comes along nagging me to add the eBay app to my phone.
I click the x button to close it and page freezes. Totally unresponsive.
I have tried different browsers without add-ons. Nothing works.
It keeps telling me promotion will end in 3 days. It's been telling me 3 days for over a week.
EBAY - I don't want your app. You are losing sales here. What an idiotic decision you have made..
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
From - Frustrated buyer.

·2 years agoI have an adblocker which also blocks popups.
No issues here.

·2 years agoIn the past I've "x'd" off the annoying popup. Just lately I've been ignoring it altogether and hitting the "My Ebay" button on the menu bar.
Most times it goes away, if it suddenly returns when I change pages, I ignore it again and get on with whatever I logged in to do.
Got to the point I don't really notice, like swatting away a fly.

·2 years agoI used to get this regularly and I can't remember if I hit escape or blocked popups on the browser.

·2 years agoeBay are unlikely to read here, it is a member to member forum
Not had the issue with eBay, get it constantly with other sites though

·2 years agoMaybe try clearing cache and cookies then rebooting your computer. Have you tried a different browser ?
