Login Popups

How do I get these popups removed? They show up every time I login.

I figure since you are so successful of removing popups people do want (shipping labels) maybe you can get rid of these that I don't want. Was that said cheeky enough for you?

I don't want a passkey and I don't want to use my mobile. That actually makes the login process even longer.

So instead of getting the prompt to pick birds, turtles , etc your new captcha is and logging in now if I did what you wanted I would then have to provide an additional input making the login process longer.

I also get the $10 app an a mobile app purchase. I am not interested in the mobile app.

The "get £10" mobile app pop-up advert's is as equally annoying as log-in pop-ups, and must be one of eBay's worst adverts - unless someone can nominate a worse one? Being an advert it can't even be excused as "necessary" as with log-in.

The pop-up's size unnecessarily takes up too much screen so demands immediate attention - it's intrusive, distracting, and too frequent.

The advert is counterproductive. It's annoyingly persistent. If I wanted the offer I'd've taken it ages ago. Human nature means the more I see it the less I want the offer - solely due to how intrusive it is; advertising grunts should be taught that aspect of human psychology.

It's got to the stage that I'll never ever accept the offer, on principle - again, that's human nature.

The pop-up should include a tick-box option: "Never show me this again if you value your miserable life".

Rant over. If while reading it you told me "steady", thank you 🙂

Agree completely about the mobile app nag screen.

Especially as it appears on a desktop PC...

The app will be more annoying than the $10 popup!

Get rid of this one too.

Why do you have an X option on these to close them? I close them out and they just come right back.

I think of it like this. When I click the X that means I am telling you NO. How many times must I tell you NO ebay? NO means NO.

Most of the popups have disappeared. Thank you!

I spoke too soon! I clicked on something and the $10 one came back. Why!

When an eBay employee launches a pop-up, the "display for how long?" options include "All of eternity". That puts it at the top of the alphabetical drop-down menu so it gets selected the most.

What's hilarious is when you open one of your own listings and it offers you $10 off. Why would I buy this from myself?
