I get a Malware warning window on ebay items listed by a specific seller.

Has anyone ever received a malware block warning message/window once opening an eBay item? I consistently receive this warning on a specific eBay seller ONLY and all of their items.  This is the only time I have ever received a malware warning in navigating the eBay site over the past 20 years. I use Malwarebytes. Thanks!

Is that from China? I would avoid that seller and report him to eBay. Hopefully they could check it out to protect other buyers.

Actually this is a US seller.

Maybe they can help.

Thanks for the tag @picknparley  .  I've never seen a Malware warning from an eBay listing, but if it is only coming up from one particular seller I would guess they may possibly have something in the HTML code of their listings that is triggering it?

There have been increased reports recently of hacked accounts, so it is possible that account has been compromised or corrupted in some way, but without more info to go on it's tough to say.

They do allow you to get some information from 3rd parties when you list like an image. So it is possible that the 3rd party site it is pulling it from has an issue that is triggering it. It could also be some HTML code that is pulling from a server outside of eBay.

I would report the listing and seller to eBay so they can get it pulled down ASAP.

Yes, I bet it does have to do with HTML code now that you mention it. Thanks for mentioning that! Thanks to all that replied to my issue.
