Anyone else offended by advert for little girl in lingerie at right hand side of every Ebay page?

Hi is there anything we can do to stop that advert that comes up every time, of a teenage girl from Thailand posing in underwear?  I am sick of it and it turns my stomache and Ebay should not allow that to come up on their auction pages nor anywhere else!  It really offends me and I dread it coming up as it's part of the sick culture of today.  I don't mind an advert for soap or something but not this!  How can we get them to remove it.  I left Yahoo mail for similar advertising but it was just a dating thing whereas this is sick.

I don't see any of eBays spam adverts as I use adblocker plus . Makes eBay and a lot of other sites much more restful to use. ( you can even get rid of the grinning loon at the bottom of each page!)

Another Adblock user here, if enough people block offensive ads then perhaps the advertiser will get the message

I normally let unoffensive ads through as it helps pay for the upkeep of websites

Don't see why ebay need ads, they get enough money from us through fees

Adblock user here too. I don't see any of the adverts.

Sorry me too,

I can't say I've seen any adverts.  I'm so focused on what i'm doing/reading I don't look anywhere else!!  

Is very unobservant.  I can go in someone's house and not notice wallpaper, colour of carpet, or even what the person is wearing.

Nasty.

Make a complaint to the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) - it's very easy - :

If you see the ad again do a right-click on the picture - there should be a drop-down list with "copy link location" - click on that and then paste into your complaint, it helps the ASA pin down who is doing it.   Also copy the eBay url where you see the ad.

Just use Adblocker it's easier still.

I find it odd that someone is so offended by seeing another person in their underwear, but I suppose it takes all sorts, and I remember the days of Page 3 and topless models, which I expect would have some people today apoplectic.

Why is it 'sick' ? because she's a teenager  (do you know this for certain or is it just an assumption, I have a Thai friend and she's in her 30's but looks like a teenager) or because she's from Thailand?

On your Ebay summary page at the top right, there are  "Ad Feedback" and "Tell us what you think" links, so you could fill those in.
