Title: Ebay and Skype ActiveX control
Post by: Tongy on November 14, 2006, 17:12:27 PM
Anyone else think its cheeky having this flash up wanting to download Skype to your PC when you go into an auction?

Im using IE7 (no, I dont like Firefox) but am getting this thingy atop the window.

Cheers

could well be in the code of the auctioneer

in which case, dont blame ebay, tis most likely a reference thing to get free call time with skype

It is eBay, they offer it as a new feature if youre selling an item. The idea being that people can call you and ask questions.

Yes, its cheeky and bloody annoying. I wish there was a way to switch it off !
