looked at an Ebay page from an email of my favorite search - clicked on an item and when I backed up to the original page I got this:

Note: We recently made changes to enable you to view eBay search pages faster. If your eBay pages are appearing in text-only format due to these changes, please upgrade your Web browser.

Of course I've got the latest browser....

What they are trying to do is to get you to enable all your cookies etc so that DoubleClick can track your searches etc.

OMG! I was looking at Ebay's main site page http://pages.ebay.com/sitemap.html?ssPageName=h:h:smap:US and I went to click on BIG TICKET right below the green envelope of FEATURED and Avast (my antivirus) jumped up a great big WARNING WARNING VIRUS on the screen.

Sign of "VBS:Malware [Script]" has been found in "http://pages.ebay.com/buy/bigticket/\PxBC8E" file.

Avast community says it's a false positive but then I don't know exactly who posted that answer.

Reply from Avast support team:

"Hello,

Some script has probably same look like some malware."

Said I can add Ebay to the exclude page if I wanted, but I don't think I will.
