Hi Sterling and List. Very good point! This may be true with other members
on the List and their comps. As far as my comp I have used a very decent
anti-virus program/spam/Trojan ect protector. I have also (with my main
security protection temporarily disabled) used 2 other program that seek,
destroy, and quarantine any malicious type cookie followers, cache trackers
and virus/Trojan files. My computer has come up totally clean. I hope others
will take your thoughts on this seriously and check their comps as well.
Thank you
Sincerely
Don Merchant

Can I add #3 to that List? That the malicious
activity of which you complain originates not
from eBay and its servers but from a malicious
agent that has installed itself in ("infected") your
computer and/or server. This is a far more likely
explanation, sad to say.

Thanks List for your input on this. At least now I know it's not my
imagination. One thing I did want to note and of which has just started
happening, is that when I go to the EBay Site (not even logging on yet) my
CA virus/spyware/website inspector security pops up with a red stop sign
warning that this is a dangerous site!!!! This has NEVER happened. One of
2
things are going on....1. EBay's server is tracking your comp via
cookies/cache or 2. hackers are tapping into the EBay Servers and thus
following your comps where abouts via EBay. Please be careful, complain to
EBay that it takes forever to load a page and change your password
frequently. I know my meteorite search on EBay has been very very sour for
the last 2 months because of this, so I hope something can be done soon.
Be
careful.

G'Day Don
You're not alone in this. Several months ago, I had problems, I even
vented to Mike Farmer in regards to issues and also to eBay, never got a
response back from ebay. Possibly because of the way I vented to them.
At
the time, the problems I was having was that exactly at 17 seconds on a
bid, I would be bumped off the site and have to sign in again, but the
auction was over. I had a tech check it out and it was definitely a
problem with ebay. But I've also noticed over the last month pages are
also taking a long time to load up and worse yet, if you're bidding on
something, usually the first refresh takes 3 seconds. But as you keep
refreshing, the pages are taking up to 30 seconds. So as for bidding on
ebay, I've given up. It's a lost cause.
Cheers
Johnno

Hi List. Has anybody noticed that when you are on EBay searching for
anything including meteorites that the pages load up slower and slower
the longer you are on EBay! I am so frustrated that I want to head butt
a
15kg Iron Meteorite!! At first I thought it was my computer but I have 7
Comps.....3 PC's and 4 laptops and the same thing occurs! I then of
course cleaned out my cache and temp files and STILL after a few minutes
on EBay checking out the meteorite pages the pages slowly get longer and
longer to load up and I MEAN LONG. Sometimes up to a minute or 2!! I
have
had a few friends say they too have noticed this with EBay on their
comps. This has been going on now for several months! I have just
complained to EBay that I feel they have server issues. Nevermind to
tell
me it's Xmas time and people are overloading EBay since I have noticed
this long before Xmas time. My server is high speed internet so it is
not
my server. Now when I get off the EBay Site to any other Site runs fast
as lightning. This is seriously ruining my search of items particularly
meteorites on EBay. I want to vent out so bad but thought I would ask
you
my friends if anyone else notices this.
Thank you and Happy Belated Thanksgiving.
Sincerely
Don Merchant
