You are being redirected away from eBay to an external site?

[inhawaii]

All morning when I click on someones feedback, i've been getting this.

Anyone else?

[nobody*s_perfect]

Yes, there are threads about it on the Community Platform board.  IIRC they originated on the Selling board and on the Technical Issues board.

Yes.

And that's not all!

I check my banking every morning.....

I got charged $3.87 into my checking account from eBay today....not Pay Pal.

Didn't buy anything for a week...no purchases.

Yes,  @soh.maryl posted it earlier today.  Not really understanding why this was implemented, but it is hardly an improvement.  Just more clicking.  Ai ya. 🙄

[12345jamesstamps]

Ha...that $3.87 is a pending charge for monthly partial fee on September 1st...still pending...ha

@inhawaii I clicked your FB and saw the same message but it took me to the right place.  Odd message indeed.

Hey @inhawaii! This change was intentional, but the change itself is intended to only pop up for external sites. We are working with Khoros to have this corrected.

Thank you Devon...

Your response is always appreciated. 👍

It might have been corrected already ... as it seems to have stopped.   😊

[I was getting that all morning whenever I clicked on an OP's Feedback Score or list of items ... and my cat asked me to stop cursing.  😉 ]

Only for the feedback subdomain. There's still a lot of work to go as all other eBay subdomains are still generating the error. devon@ebay @house*of*paws 

Go to the Community home page and look at the long list of links on the right. There are links to securitycenter and pages subdomains that are still generating the pop up. Those are just 2 examples - eBay has a lot of valid subdomains and they all need to be green lighted.

There's also a link to ebayinc.com which is technically off site, but still eBay, so it shouldn't (in my opinion) generate the pop up. Nor should links to eBay's other sites like ebayads.com

There's also the issue of the pop-up forcing links to open in the same window and overriding all attempts to open the link in a new tab. Plus some other issues with links - all outlined in a thread linked above by nobodys-perfect.

go figure, I just asked this in the tech. section then I find this. Still going on. When I try to open the next page in the community forums, am getting that message.

@wastingtime101 I'm also still getting the message every time I click the "load more" button to see more posts on the community home page.

[wastingtime101]

Yep. That's part of the "other issues" outlined in the linked thread. Seemed pointless to re-hash everything when the info is already out there.

@inhawaii  I am browsing the community and hit page 2 after I looked through page 1.  I got the same message.
