Unwelcome pop ups

wadds5 — Sun, 27 Apr 2014 01:13:16 GMT

All of a sudden I am being tortured with pop up pictures advertising things for sale on eBay. Even when I am trying to list something for sale and even as I am typing this question. This is extremely annoying - does anyone know how I can stop it?

We get them all the time too and also find them very annoying. Even adevrtising items from our competitors.

As far as I know you can't block them.

All you can do is leave ebay behind as we intend to do once our own independent web site is working.

Also this one

I must have all the ad blockers in place because I don't get a single one - I really feel for all the people who are constantly tortured by them - it must be driving them nuts.

Thanks for that link.

I just installed AdBlock Plus onto my computer.

And now I'm not getting the ads. So I guess they were coming from something external to the ebay website.

But I'm also not seeing the ones I thought were internal ebay sponsored ads.

Either way its much better now.

I'm glad to hear that clarry it means there's one less person on eBay tearing their hair out in frustration
