Since they have removed all ways to leave complains to Ebay about their page content I will express my opinion here. Recently when you try to navigate pages or do searches this **bleep** sign on box for Google pops up and prevents one from typing in a search or enter an item I want to bid on.
They need to get rid of this Google popup box, it interferes with my ability to get a bid in at the last moment.
To heck with Google, don't want it, don't need it!

That box has absolutely nothing to do with eBay, it's controlled by Google. So there's not one thing eBay can do about it. I find it popping up on lots of password-controlled sites I frequent. So you're complaining to the wrong entity.

A google search (or most any search engine) of your title "Google sign in popup box" will return results telling you how to get rid of that.

true ... lots of places tell you how to get rid of it, but I have not found that any of them work.
I find it hard to believe that ebay cannot prevent something from popping up on their site... It is exactly like the OP said .. you cannot do anything until you get rid of it... and also like the OP... I don't need it... don't want it.
please ebay... stop it.

I do not believe that for one second.
If what you are saying was true, then google is hacking the site.
Ebay is approving of and facilitating the popup or it wouldn't work

You get the pop up if you have a google account, even if it is just a Gmail one. You can get rid of the pop up by using your Google (gmail) username password, to log into your google account or go to myaccount.google.com, navigate to Security, and click "Signing in with Google." Then disable the toggle next to "Google account Sign-in Prompts".
I was getting that prompt pop up, on many sites I logged into including ebay, until I found the link to disable the prompt, I just clicked on the ( X ) to close it and moved on. Now I no longer get it.

Of course ebay is approving the use of Google. If you do a google search for any product you want info about, chances are in the first few results there will be a link to an ebay or Amazon listing. eBay and Amazon wants Google directing people to their sites, since it grows sales. If your browser allows the use of different search engines, that do not track everything you do online, start using those ones.

I agree with everything you said, except that I have done what you suggest about disabling google sign ups at the gmail sight... I do not have an approval for the popup to appear on ebay. I do have approval for Microsoft so that the outlook app will fetch gmail... that's all I want it to do... IIRC , I did turn that off too and I still got the popup on ebay.
I use duck duck go which is not supposed to be tracking me.
The whole point of this is the annoying time that the thing pops up... If it pops up when I click "sign in" I have no problem with it, but it is the last thing to load when I come on the site, AFTER I click on the search and type in what I was trying to remember when I came to the site in the first place, and then I notice that nothing I typed appeared and there is that stupid popup...
I am with the OP.... I don't want it... it's annoying... how about ebay getting rid of it or make it happen when I click "sign in"

Just wanted to update... signing into gmail and disabling all third party accesses , links and everything-elses does NOT get rid of the ebay google sign in popup.
Ebay should get rid of this stupid thing.
thank you and good night

It's not just approving it. It really is part of eBay. I have tried all ways/ I closed the google sign in on all accounts. This just started happening to me about 6 months ago. I have checked all the boxes I could find that had anything at all to do with google associating. Then just today I right clicked that box instead of Xing it out like I generally have to do ( almost always forgetting first and trying to type like I should be able to) and guess what happened? you can investigate the BOX and it's origins. right in that information is all kinds of eBay HTML including their phone number! I just ran thru it and searched it. check this line out. It;s not letting me post the entire thing here. but you can still see most. Right click that box that drops down on the eBay page and you can pick it apart.

I think you are wrong about that. If you were right, then anyone could place a pop up on anyone else's site that couldn't be blocked with a popup blocker. No, i'm afraid the pop up we are talking about is akin to a paid banner ad . And yes it is Irritating.
03-12-2024 08:11 PM
Well yes, but they don't work. The real question is why would people sign up for this and trust perfect strangers with their passwords?
