here is what i see on every item description. anyone else seeing this?

This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.demdex.net, demdex.net (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

In Google chrome it is just a sad face page icon.

There have been so many site-specific issues this year and with the many glitches and complaints, this is just another drop in the overflowing bucket.

For me, a frequent Buyer since 2010, my opinion of eBay is:

"this ecommerce site is untrusted"

Nope, and I can't replicate anything like that behavior.

Demdex (owned by Adobe) is a behavioral tracking outfit used to track you across domains via cookies, and used by eBay. Must be one of the tracking scripts calling an object from a domain with an incorrect cert.

Provide a URL for an item where you see it occurring.
