Does anyone else hate this as much as I do?

Outhaul

When you click on an eBay auction, the auction loads, and the first thing you get is a pop-up to load "FLASH" or some other piece of crap! ARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!

The other thing is the stupid "BUY ME" thing that tags along everywhere you move your cursor! GEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

One other thing is an auction with so many moving parts it takes ten minutes to load! KEEEEEEEEEEERIST!!!!!!

I don't want to listen to your cheesy midi music...
I don't want to look at all the wonderful things you can do with a cursor...
I don't want to look at pictures of you precocious little brats holding up a picture of the coin...
I don't want to look at a picture of your pug ugly face...

I JUST WANT TO SEE THE FRIGGIN MERCHANDISE FACRISSAKE!!!!

These are the auctions I skip...no matter how much I need the coin.

Thanks for this opportunity to vent.

Cheers,

Bob

agree, which is why i always surf w/ all those options turned off, including the option to "show images". i just right-click the image place-holder that i want to see. surfs faster that way, too.

They have no sympathy for the dial up user. It's silly really, you want to MAXIMIZE your viewings, not tick people off waiting for it to load.

Buy the coin, not the AD for the coin.. something like that

No sense in beating around the bush Bob......... I'm with you with that stuff. Let us see the coin, and be done with it

Hey now - we're getting personal here!

But I agree with your post!

Those things irritate me, too.
Most time I just exit the auction.

I hate it as much as you do, maybe more!!!

I'll go to eBay, start logging in, and up pops a pop up - which also aborts my login so then I have to type my login again after killing the darn pop-up (if a 2nd or 3rd pop up doesn't get me first)!!!

HATE IT !!!

Ah, the pain of surf rage.

Isn't there software available to stop the popups? Twowood

Ditto. Cut the foofoo crap that's there only to try and prove how clever the seller is, and just give me the scans and description of the coin.

Man that ticks me off too. I had a buddy that is a seller of errors and varieties. I would occasionally check out his stuff. He had so much garbage on some of them that my browser wouldn't fully open them so I could bid if I wanted to!

I made a few suggestions and he drastically cut the fat! Much Much better!

When I list, I have a Small paragraph with a desc. and my terms, then 2 large pics.

If it is their intent to discourage serious buyers of numismatic material, they have successfully accomplished their mission!

Yes, you can get software that kills all popup and most other ads from your browser. Best of all, they are free.
Go to Link and find the one for your operating system.

Hope it helps

I am an equal opportunity hater. I just hate everything, all the time, everywhere .

The one and only thing I seem to like is Pushkins Big Cat. It scares me, but I like it.

As long as we are venting....

I find it annoying board members who have HUGE anime in their signature lines or HUGE pix of god knows what.

Again zero sympathy for dial up users! I am on cable but still wish they would use a little common sense.
