I at my wits end with this crap......
Every time I check my account balance on here.. I get a pop add trying to sell me a loan, promoted listings, faster payouts, rinse repeat....
STOP IT!!!! THIS ISN'T HOW YOU TREAT THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE YOUR WEBSITE PROFITABLE EBAY!!! I DON'T NEED 5000 ADS IN MY FACE WHEN I ALREADY PAY YOU PEOPLE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FEES LITERALLY EVERY WEEK!!!!
I'm sorry for this rant.. but SOMEONE please see this. I have already filed a ticket on this.. apparently my account is broken (again) because I am opted out of even getting these very cumbersome and ANNOYING ads.... PLEASE...MAKE...IT...STOP!!!!

·1 week agoYes. I go to this page many times a day to log sales data. May whoever thought of this popup have an unpleasant firey afterlife.
Seems like it ends September 11th hopefully.

·1 week ago · EditedIt's not just eBay, it's everybody.
The news sites will drag their videos down on the screen if you scroll past them to make you watch the ads, every video has one or more ads, text keeps scrolling as they load more ads, the pop-ups are endless.
Businesses are desperate to sell and are spending huge amounts of money to advertise when they should be lowering prices and increasing quality, service, and reliability with the same money.
Maybe if we clicked on all the ads and made that advertiser pay for those clicks it would stop.

·1 week agoI don't know. I heard a rumor that the popup originated in a lab in Hawaii.

·1 week agoI have never had a pop up ad on ebay. I also have my payouts automated so I basically never look at that screen. What could I possibly do there that was remotely profitable?

·1 week agoI started getting it a couple days ago on my Payments page. It's the most relentless one I've seen on eBay. And yes I have an ad blocker.
I even tried 'giving in' and clicking the View Offer button, and scrolling that page up and down to simulate "reading" it. -Doesn't stop it from coming back the next time.

·1 week agoDo you have an ad blocker? I use Ad Block Plus it is free and I've never seen a popup ad on any site since I installed it.

·1 week agoeBay Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results - eBay Inc.
May I direct your attention to the first item beneath "Other Selected Financial and Operational Results" heading:
Advertising revenue – The company's total advertising offerings generated $596 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026
Their irritating advertisements all over the place...including advertising competing items in the middle of our listings...are here to stay.

·1 week agoYou'll still see related eBay listings, but you never have to see actual advertisements, including popups.
I use Adblock Plus and Adblocker Ultimate. They each have their strengths and can run simultaneously.

Are you calling these pop ups?
gurlcat
·1 week agoNO, those are at the top of the page NOT blocking anything. What the OP is describing literally pops up in front of the screen.

OP1 week agono... I'm calling this a pop up ad... imagine this.. relentlessly... every time you check your payments page

·1 week ago@imac7065 It would be funny if you could blow it up to cover <this> whole page, then maybe they'd get it. -I think some people aren't seeing it simply because they're not making this offer to everyone. I wish they weren't making it to me. I tried clicking the View offer thing even, but it still keeps coming back.

It must be your pop up blocker not working. I have Nord VPN and don’t get any pop up ads on eBay or anywhere else.

OP1 week agoits working literally everywhere else lol.. if t beats youtube it should easily beat this

·1 week agoAgree 100% These are very irritating and seem very desperate on eBay's part. I can almost accept one time but the same pop up over and over again. LOL I would never fall for this business cash advance.

·1 week agoThis is perhaps the one thing that is worth complaining about. I think the popups are a step too far. I just want to see my accounting data, not be bombarded with financing offers.

·1 week agoI've used an ad blocker for decades, so I have no idea what kind of Instagram-grade sleazy advertising eBay pushes.

·1 week agoeBay does sell ad space but not in the form of pop ups. Your browser may have picked up some malware somewhere.
kibble-net
·1 week agoThis isn't malware. Have you been to the Payments page recently?
gone.c-33
·1 week agoI just did, with Edge on which I have no ad blocker installed on, and didn’t get any third party pop ups.
jonathanbrightlight
·1 week agoI’m getting eBay pop-overs (meaning not a new window, just a graphic overlaying the page) every time with a coupon offer. It’s not third party.
gone.c-33
·1 week agoI thought OP meant actual pop ups.
If we’re talking about what @a-lotta-stuff posted below, I wouldn’t call those pop ups, that’s why I was confused.

Just click on the X and it will disappear immediately. How hard can that be? Takes less than second.
