how to buy on ebay...

[thch 10+ year member]

the second most annoying thing i've seen on ebay lately is dumbass script-kiddy sellers who redirect you to their storefront when you view an item.

an example is the store that sells an aureal vortex2 (au8830) sound card:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-4-CHANNEL-64-BIT-AUREAL-PCI-SOUND-CARD-AU8830-SALE_W0QQitemZ6798331292QQcategoryZ3701QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the link lets you look at the card for about 1 second, then does a redirect to the storefront...

now i get to see every itme the seller has. but if i click on any of the items, it'll just redirect me back to the storefront. thus, i can see what a fine store they have, but cannot buy anything due to redirection. further i cannot ask the seller questions or even inform him of the issue...

for some people, such as him and myself, it redirects to the actual storefront and not just the usual ads they have in every auction.

it redirected me to the store front, but that was on top of the original listing

I did get redirected, just hit stop before the page loads completely.

I wouldn't want to buy anything from someone who's page is going like that. I would probably wait until later and see if it gets fixed.

its a violation of the ebay agreement just report them and they get their ebay account revoked.
