    Exclamation Waiting for rover.ebay.com

    Hope this makes sense...I've been doing up new listings this afternoon, and with the exception of three times (out of eleven), every time I click on "Choose Photo" down in the lower left of my screen...(I have a habit of watching the loading bits and bobs out of boredom!) I keep seeing this:

    Waiting for rover.ebay.com

    WHAT's up with THAT??? Am I seeing things? Is this normal? Using Mozilla Firefox browser...

    Advice, please...

    Get a screenshot of it and forward it onto the guys, maybe they have somehow found a way to hack into eBid. I'm sure Gazza will take that very seriously

    I'll be doing up more listings tomorrow or the next day...will watch for it. If I can grab it as a screenshot (that lower left area moves pretty fast most times!) I will forward on to Gazza at admin for him to look at...thanks, Craig.

    Out of curiosity I googled 'ebay rover' and found this:

    http://www.jangro.com/affiliate-mark...nfrastructure/

    It's mostly Greek to me, but about 2/3 of the way down the page I found the statement "All Rover URLs will use the same server name, rover.ebay.com, regardless of the target destination domain or eBay site.

    Hmmmm....I realize this is an old article, but makes one wonder what they've managed to do with their little 'rover' since that time..eeek!
