There was nearly a front page news incident when one of the adverts pinged up and it was for Orange Broadband - which was the whole reason I was on dial-up in the first place!!! It would be nice if eBay allowed sellers to opt out of viewing any advertising schemes - we have enough to administer on ebay as it is without contend with this guff as well!

The bad news is that they're now advertising PayPal postage to me again which I have no intention of even considering using until it offers a substantial benefit... like a discount on the standard postage rate.

Seeing as ebay lowered the page position of the offsite links recently, is there hope for these ads in My Ebay to be downgraged too? Poor Chris.

Firefox and Opera don't seem to be affected. Might be worth switching browsers until ebay sort it out or get rid. Hang on tho, why should we have to mess about trying to fix an ebay "site interferance" issue? I find Explorer the worst for this ebay cock-up. Firefox and Opera don’t seem to be affected.

(I tested it does work with FireFox and AdBlockPlus.) Use an adblocker and you don’t have to wait for the ad to load, until the javascript loads to allow drop down menus.
