Allow us to REMOVE the Allstate Protection Plan popup you FORCE on us
give us a way to get rid of these POS. i have stopped buying things that shove these down my throat. actually i leave the site and go to amazon in protest even if i pay more. **bleep** this **bleep** !
it would be "tolerable" if we could ignore them. but if we dont click yes or no, the item does not go into our cart. also would be tolerable if adblock helped but you all force us to click yes or no... what a **bleep** marketing decision. fire whoever thought this was a great idea. wait, you probably cant, cuz bad decisions like this are usually made by the CEOs grandkid or something.
ok see ya, im heading over to amazon or walmart websites to buy the item i was going to try to buy here. you all have annoyed me for too many years.
RIP

·3 months agoSelling extended warranties is a profit center for retailers, and for Ebay.
Apparently, you do little shopping in other than flea markets and thrift shops.

Not even an annoyance unless you have already reached your daily Click Limit.

·3 months agoThe "just a click and move on" or "everybody treats me this way so I don't care" attitude only encourages even more abusive practices. When I'm subjected to aggressive sales tactics, I shop elsewhere (I closed my Amazon account after degrading treatment by "customer service", and I don't buy anything on ebay when they're bombarding me with intrusive "download our app" pop-ups), and I'm more than happy to pay higher prices to honest retailers who treat me with respect. The bottom line: every time you put up with obnoxious marketing and reward it with your money, *you* become a part of the problem.
Edited to add: ebay just tried to push an Allstate insurance plan on me for, of all things, some little plastic pieces that fill gaps on the back of an action figure... this is beyond stupid. So I searched online and found the exact same kit from another retailer for LESS money! To all those folks who claim that they can't afford to shop elsewhere: give it a try and you may realize that sometimes ebay can be pretty darned expensive.

1. Paying more to delete the ads: Kid might not eat tonight.
2.Dignity: Not worth a hill of beans on a website (see number 1.)

Just a click and move on.
When my life becomes intolerable because I have to click yes or no, I will unplug my computer and turn off my phone.
The day I "pay more in protest" is when I will have to consider

This isn't eBay, it's a member-to-member forum. So "we all" have done nothing to annoy you.

·1 year agoSame thing happens when I shop for electronics or appliances on Amazon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All I do is click no thanks or the x when making a purchase so Allstate insurance thing goes away…….oh and there’s no cussing involved.
Announcing your departure isn’t necessary.
