Here you Go, Hope I did it Right

[ekmadonna]

Here is the AD I have been getting on my All Selling Page for over a week, The one promoting listing tools for AMAZON. I hope I did this correct and you can see it.

Is that not just one of those Google ads that use cookies from your browser. Is there a problem?

[alittlesomething4everyone]

Sorry just realized the ad shouldn't be there in the first place. I think malware can place ads in the middle of webpages. I use Malwarebytes.

It's not malware. It's Google adchoices. eBay is generating revenue in the same way many other sites do. Google controls the ad content, not eBay. 

Mine had an ad for Hilton hotels.  When I refreshed the screen a couple times, it changed to Hertz.

Oh, yea I see that. I chose to "opt out" of google ads on my browser. here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/adchoice

Nope, my link is just for custom ads. I'm of no help.

eBay makes money from displaying those ads. 

They are not going to let you opt out of seeing ads.

Adblock will get rid of all those ads.

You can't opt out of the ads - all you opt out of when you choose to "opt out" is opting out of the ads being "targeted" specifically at you. When you opt out you get totally random ads. (or so they claim)

Adblock Plus ad blocking rules, Noscript Ad Script blocking rules, and blocking ad domains via a HOSTS file is the solution.

Hi @ekmadonna - thank you so much for getting me this, I'll get it sent to marketing. 🙂

I'm also going to remove your screenshot now that I have the data I need. Thanks!

That's not the point of this thread.  The point is that eBay very likely has specific content agreements with Google and other ad vendors on what ads are allowed.  I highly doubt Amazon spots are on that approved list.  That would also be why Brian wanted a screenshot to send along to marketing.

Whether or we run ad blockers as end users is up to us and is not germane to the OP.

I totally agree. Just took me this long to get onboard.
