I replied in another similar thread here.. but what the hell.. if they are going to turn basic functions into same category as ads to force us to view them, then I don't care 🙂

Yes.. they have done this to force us to view 3rd party, revenue generating ads. Unbelievable.

I use an ad blocker and will continue to do so.. if ebay cannot let me see my messages, purchase history, mouse over images etc unless I look at their ads, then I will, regrettably, take my business to Amazon after 17 years of using ebay.

I am someone who will NEVER buy from an ad in a browser and I am also aware of the potential for ads being served to contain malicious code.

I looked for a way to contact ebay about this but alas, the controlled topic list for customer service doesn't allow this kind of enquiry.

I am also an ebay plus member.. this in the hope that such things can be avoided by paying a fee.. however, it seems not.

I will assume that they are testing this on us to guage a reaction, so I will wait a very short time to see what happens.. but it would be sad if after all this time they make their site unusable for a reason like this

It must be a select test. I use an adblocker and I have no problem accessing all the features that I normally do.

what browser are you using..? I use firefox..

I use Firefox and an adblocker and like Dave I have no problems with normal ebay functions.
