Lo and behold ebay did something else bad.


Within the last day or so eBay recently altered their javascript for a new abuse. Now when your browser is set for pictures off and then when you try to manually selectively load images, eBay prevents you. Turning javascript fixes this. This may be related to their keystroke and mouse click capturing javascript people have talked about here.

JOnas- HI,
Can you explain to me, what does this mean in terms of making a listing?
I dont understand Java, so is it bad to upload your pics direct to ebay? is that what it means?
Thanks!

[Jonas]

Turn pictures off on your browser then you manually click the unloaded picture things to view the pics manually. MSIE, K-Meleon, and other browsers do it. eBay has now prevented this is in Javascript.

Java and Javascript are two different things.

SO.. still in ENGLISH.. this all means what?? I'm still confused...
(I like the K.Meleon, though --thats a good name for an acct

opera also lets u disable pics.
but i dont see the point?

i think he is talking about web-beacons that ebay use as tracking by taking advantage of java-scripts.. anyway we all know that by clearing cookies.. running multiple browsers for different accounts..

for example..

opera for xyz ebay account
ie for 345
safari for ghi account

and we also know how to ebay tracks by ip address..

Oh well, the web beacons really don't matter as long as you clean your cookies all the time.

As long as you never look at feebay emails from any IP that would "link" you, that is..
