So I'm cruising along, and click on someone's other items. A pop up comes up: "Isn't this the most annoying script since BLINK!" It's a cgi ebay window too. What in the world??? And it came up for seller's feedback etc. as well. Was that really too much two buck last night, or has someone invaded eBay? Or is it as simple as fiddling with the html code?

Here's one ... every time I tried to click on an item from seller, this script comes up. That includes trying to bid, copying auction number, asking a question, etc.

Looks like ebay got hacked! No way can a seller add that to those links!

Does it involve other sellers too or just this one? I get that "annoying script" message wherever I click on the page (not just links):

Didn't come across anyone else ... wrote this seller an email asking about it, or alerting as the case may be. Even shows on his closed auctions.

It didn't show anything unusual to me except there are red X where picture should be on that item #. Other auctions of theirs are ok.

Nope, I didn't get anything either. God I love Firefox.

I don't get anything unless I try to right click and then it says "hey look but don't touch!"

no pop ups. I tried ask seller a question and placing a bid. nada. nothing.

I think you guys have lost it.........

They DO have an ANTI RIGHT-CLICK script embedded in the ENTIRE page...NOT sure how they did they entire page...

I know how to do my own HTML area, but that still allows one to VIEW SOURCE off that area...

I would say there's a bug-a-boo in the script they're using for this...







Got stuff? PLEASE join RALPHIE & ME in some AUCTIONS for our favorite NON-PROFIT~Thank You!

I guess the script can't tell left from right because it happens with left click too. I am glad ebay wasn't hacked at any rate
