Now the message is gone. Strange glitch?
Yes, it's a malfunctioning piece of eBay page coding called a Page Notice, and that appears to be a default message that's displayed if the surrounding code has gone sideways in some way, such as missing a value that's supposed to deliver the correct message for whatever's going on at the time in your session.
I found an explanation of Page Notices on the following Github page on eBay coding, and the "Spam and eggs" message is mentioned there in two places: as a sample confirmation message, and within a code sample showing how it's generated:
https://ebay.github.io/skin/archive/v10.6/index.html#:~:text=Congrats!%20You%20just%20listed%20%22Sp...
Documentation says there are four types of Page Notices: Celebration, Confirmation, Information and Attention. Given the "Congrats" at the beginning of the message, this is presumably a Celebration, although its text is supposed to be something assembled from what the user has just produced (e.g. a new listing), and not a standard phrase embedded in sample code.
This is not untypical of eBay coding, and should have been removed in Peer Review of the code to be tested, but it does not look like it did get reviewed before being released.
