Social media share buttons missing on ebay listings anyone else?

[duncanvr]

For years I have sent ebay links to Facebook and Pinterest using the little social icons top right of every ebay listing. Now those icons have vanished? Why? Anyone else or is this a glitch?

Hi, just looked at one of my listings, and the social media buttons are there.

@duncanvr. Turn off your ad blocker on that page.   Mine disappear when the ad blocker is on..

I tried to turn off the ad blocker and refreshed but the icons are still gone.

HMM.... Not sure why it's not working for you. 

Mine are there using Chrome and Firefox as long as adblocker is turned off and then I do a F5 page refresh.

You could share the listing the old fashioned way by just copying the URL from the browser bar while the listing is opened and paste it to wherever you wish.

Mine are still there, what browser are you using? Do you have java script disabled?

[duncanvr]

Using firefox. I for some reason now have to turn ad blocker off for all of ebay pages to get the icons to show. I will only turn the ad blocker off when I am going to do the sharing of ebay links. Then turn the ad blocker back on as I don't want ads when I am listing. Did not have to do this yesterday. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Many ad blockers have a particular setting -- or possibly a subscription, such as Fanboy's Social Blocking List -- that covers social media links and buttons. If you can find that setting, you may be able to restore the buttons and still use your ad blocker to block ads.

The block social media icons in ad blocker somehow got auto selected so all fixed. Thanks all for the help.

You are most welcome -- glad to hear that worked!

They are there but they don't work.

Try disabling your ad blocker or try another browser.

Are these on new listings on the listing confirmation page? I have an issue with sharing to social media when creating a new item on the listing confirmation page. The error is "Too many Redirects" or something like that. The last time I reached out to the eBay for Business FaceBook group, they asked me to clear my cache and cookies for my browser (Google Chrome), which didn't fix the issue. I haven't had a chance to get back to them.

I have been using a workaround... If I open the listing and click on the Share link and select the social media site from there, it works without an issue.
