What's up with these expanding pop up ads?

[mr_lincoln]

So who's brain child is this latest space wasting, page disrupting, expanding pop up ad campaign?  Time for a good pop up blocker program ... wonder if it will work on the site for the ads but not block the pop up they have with the new label printing page ... which oh by the way, is another space wasting scroll happy experience ... oops, my cynicism is showing again LOL!

I have been getting the same thing the last few days. After reading similar topics I added Ad Block Plus.

It slows my computer down a little, but at least I can see my "all selling page again".

Looks like the trend of the future here, additional revenue made by ebay at our expense.

THREE WORDS:  ADAWARE POPUP BLOCKER

WORKS GREAT!!

Refreshing the page works for me, without adding any software to slow things down.

Stupid pop-ups are everywhere!

They use them now during football games.  Just a quick flash and you miss a touch down or a replay.   Almost as annoying as Mikey trying to sell me his ultra expensive pillows!

I find myself reading more lately - much more relaxing.

An alternative to Ad Block Plus is uBlock Origin, which is faster, more efficient, uses less memory and CPU footprint. Also, it doesn’t allow “acceptable ads” (read paid ads) as the default like Ad Block Plus does.

Here’s the link for the Firefox addon -

Also available for Chrome -

MY MOZILLA RUNS JUST FINE 'BECAUSE ' THERE ARE NOW NO MORE POP UPS OR ADS, IT **bleep** OFF A LOT OF WEBSITES THO BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THEIR ADS..

Look at the URL on the My Ebay page and you will see that it says Beta.  They are testing and changing the page.   I agree, just refreshing the page works although sometimes you have to do it a couple times.

Thanks for the links!

I will try it on the home laptop and see if it is faster than the Ad Block Plus.

I don't get those, because I have pop-ups blocked on my browsers, and I block 3rd-party cookies.

You need to clear your cache and set your browser options to disallow those.

This CARP started yesterday on my FREE buying account, it is BEYOND ANNOYING as it superimposes it'self over the entire top 1/4 of everything else on the page. GET RID OF IT!

[justforfun.2010]

Yes. Slows down ebay searches from instant pages to 10-15 seconds a page. eBay, get rid of this trash.

Good points ... I actually clear the cache, cookies, history, temp internet file on a regular basis ... a habit I got in to a long time ago to try and keep out the riff raff ...

I also have 3rd party cookies blocked ... same thing, been doing that for years.  These new ones must be masked as Session Cookies so they come in when the site spools up ...
