Yes, it is at the bottom of my list of items for sale. (gemmoderns) Do I know what it is? No.

anyone ever seen it before?

yes, everywhere on ebay. also, my computer keeps asking if I would like to "debug now".... very strange.

Cameonut

Yes
And I get the "want to debug" popup all the time. Makes me wonder if I have spyware on my machine even though I have anti-spyware software. Very annoying - I may do a system restore to see if that helps.

I've been getting the "debug" popup lately also. The code is looking for an image object that it can't find. Very annoying!!

It is just some bad programming at eBay. I would not worry about it. No one is perfect.

FrankHKP7

I've seen it a few times. It tends to come and go. I don't think it has any ill effect on ebay's performance or lack thereof...

Russ

Nope, haven't seen it.

I haven't gotten it yet. But I do get allot of Double Click being blocked by spybot. What is Double Click anyway. It only happens when I go on eBay.

I don't think it is bad programming. It seems that they were "DeBugging". It's a common practice when you are an application developer. It's when you print out the values of variables to trace the passing of values and calculations within the application. I agree that they could have tested and debugged on a development server with a mirror of one of the eBay CGI servers so that noone would see these variables. Maybe it was to save time. There might have been a security issue that had to be handled right away. I don't know. Anyways, at the very least we know that updates and constant maintenence are being performed by eBay application developers to help both buyers and sellers have a good eBay experience.

Ok, that's my Pro-eBay rant and explaination in one big breath.
