That java script dont stop nothing its just a fancy way of a website programer to deny the user full use of his computer.
all you have to do is go to the view menu of your browser and source the page in this way you can even get the exsact URL for any graphics go directly to the URL and then copy them.
The other way around this is to change the configuration of your mouse so that rather then right clicking you left click the mouse to copy.
You can also use Java in your listings to harvest email, SS#,Credit card numbers,and other information saved in a users web broswers supose your buyers will be excited to buy from your auction listing with these invisable Java scripts running in your listings ..
There is a big difference in makeing a web page interactive and manipulating your users computers

similar-looking auctions my previous buyers may be confused. Here are the eBay policies:
