<< popup advertising ... Makes me not like ebay at all>>
Too right. What browser are you using? People who use Firefox have that AdBlock Plus and
insist it is wonderful. If you use Internet Explorer you'll find Pop-Up Blocker to be just as good.
Don't wait, -- download one of these free from the internet. It's not likely you'll eliminate all ads
completely, but the pop-ups will be gone and at least you'll be able to enjoy a leisurely shop.
