Same here.  Does any one know who is responsible for this redirect hack.  Is it only happening on ebay?

It seems to only be happening on ebay. I've tried both Firefox and Chrome and the same thing keeps happening.

These ebay clowns better fix this problem.

I got this on eBay too yesterday and again today on another site. Is this a virus, or just a Flash exploit? I clicked off of the page immediately but I'm quite stressed out about this.

Its a flash exploit buried in the banner ads that if you click the redirect link to do whatever, loads a wackload of virii into your computer.
