How do I stop pop up adverts coming up

Ive started receiving some popup by a site called Gamiss, only when I visit ebay. Sometime ago, I was receiving 'Youve Won' popups too; I thought they'd cleared but now this latest. Always and only whilst on ebay. Very annoying!

 

Besides installing the adblocker, why is there no real solution to stopping this by ebay?

 

Or is it more about revenue generated ads as opposed to the safety of buyers and sellers that use ebay?

 

I use latest software to keep my pc clean; antivrus up to date and firewall etc.

I installed Adblocker Plus and it seems to have worked. It's free.

How do I stop pop up adverts coming up

If I remember correctly one should always if using a Windows system, first ensure that you have removed all viruses and, or programs that are allowing the adverts to appear in the first place, before adding an AdBlocker.

 

There is nothing eBay can do about the programs you have installed on your machine or in your browser, that you installed inadvertently when downloading something else, if that is the cause of your problems. And it could very well be. Apparently.

 

The 'Pinned Thread' at the top of this sub-forum explains these things in the necessary great detail. Links to the programs needed to assist there might be outdated, though, they are still available elsewhere.

 

Malwarebytes is annoyingly difficult to configure in free mode, though, it is still freely available and even if you inadvertently choose the free trail version, you can use it and when the free trial period runs out, it will, I believe revert to the free version. You can't be charged if you don't give any financial information anyway.

It is still freely available and once installed a slow navigation of the possibilities will enable anyone to configure it onto it's free mode.

 

Another source of pop-up adverts is browser extensions that have been added without the users knowledge. Search the Internet for assistance. I only know Firefox and can assist there.

 

Good luck!

 

I've not seen an advert on eBay, youtube or any mainstream site for going on a decade, though, fortunately I don't use Windows systems either.

What browser are you using and why can't you close the page?

 

If you are using Firefox you can try pressing Ctrl + W on your keyboard to close the Tab. (It might work in other browsers also, I don't know)

 

Are you using an Ablocking Addon in your browser?

I believe ebay has become a vulnerability.

 

I have done so many things to make my pc secure and protect it from adware/viruses/trojans etc; using antivirus, firewall, adblocks, Malwarebytes, etc etc and I still encounter issues only whilst using ebay. 

 

Today Ive started to see descriptions on my watch page in German (I am english speaker in England) 

 

I no longer receive message notifications on my watch list page.

 

Ebay tells me that there are a number of issues within this part of their website - so why are they not pulling out their finger to fix/make secure?

Yes am getting same thing only on eBay, with iPad safari , last night the pop up changed from spawning a new window to opening in existing window. eBay can’t be used likes this.
Considering the size of the organisation and their fees this is something they should have the resources to fix.

They’ve lost the plot!

I have no experience using Apple systems or products, that said there is a fork of uBlock, the content-filtering blocker I use, available for Safari 11 ( untested on older versions (but should work?)). https://safari-extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.el1t.uBlock-3NU33NW2M3

 

In the NOTES  it says "To benefit from uBlock Origin's higher efficiency, it's advised that you don't use other inefficient blockers at the same time (such as AdBlock or Adblock Plus). uBlock₀ will do as well or better than most popular ad blockers. Other blockers can also prevent uBlock₀'s privacy or anti-blocker features from working properly." mentioned here in case you already have an AdBlocker installed.

 

Seeing as you have the URL (eu.thluckygiftsacombank.icu) aren't you able to specifically block that address in your browser preferences?

 

And you're probably best advised, as with windows users, to ensure there is no Malware of any kind on your system before installing any AdBlocker (see the pinned thread at the top of this forums index list)

 

There is a Malwarebytes programme for Mac systems https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

 

Again know that I have absolutely zero experience with Apple systems and products and have merely searched the Internet to see if the products I use to have a pop-up free experience are available for Apple systems and shared the details here.

 

I use a Linux system called ubuntu MATE with Firefox web browser with uBlock Origin add-on. I also use another add-on that deletes cookies when I close tabs. (cookie AutoDelete).

 

I very rarely see any adverts of any kind anywhere on the Internet and have never had any issues with pop-ups on eBay.

Hi Anthony,
I work for an isp and use most linux variants every day. The reason I posted was am feed up of eBay. To say the size of the operation the website lacks attension to details. The developers only test an a single browser, probably Firefox or chrome. It’s clear they don’t employ a proper security team as there site appears to be suffering from some form om injection. There’s nothing wrong with the browser as only eBay have the issue. I run iOS at home as am fully aware how to exploit insecure systems. iOS on the whole is secure.

One thing eBay don’t screw up is the billing!

Any one reading this if you want a temp fix for this problem whilst eBay sort is to run Google chrome browser on you’re iPad. At the moment haven’t seen any issue.

Hi, thanks for your reply.  I am not using an Adblocking Addon and I can never close the page because there is not an option to.  It absolutely won’t !!!   So annoying as I have to close down and start again.  It’s on my IPad.

You can stop these promo pop-ups......, like ths:-

 

On E-bay, go to account settings, select Notifications, then select Communication Settings, then un-click which ever bits you don't want e.g. as in this case, Promotions.

 

Best of luck

Howard

Hi Howard,

This pop up is an injected Trojan via one of the eBay servers. It is exploiting a venerability in the iOS browser. You can’t turn it off in eBay settings. It demonstrates how poor the eBay systems are especially because it’s been around for some months now. They need to close down the first issue.
FYI same device using chrome browser works. Unfortunately eBay on iOS with chrome is very clunky

Regards

Gary
