Advert Intrusion

[robbielowe]

There has been recently on the forum discussions on Google Ads covering buttons menus & intruding at inconvenient points.

I am not a mobile user, & I do not see any ads using the web application.

In the past I had used a Belgium site but I never sold or bought anything since they brought in their new fees model with buyer fees a while ago.

Ring any bells, Was that an event of things to come recently with another site?

But addressing the subject title, they the Belgium site have just announced removing Google adverts as they are an intrusion and bore little relevance to a collections site. They admit losing a revenue stream but said the decision was brought about by members requests needing a better browsing experience.

I've no idea what's happening over there, I'm currently on a 30-day ban. Listening to members? Really? In that case I guess they'll soon be making Simpleton Delivery optional, cancelling buyers fees and reinstating seller fees, and paying out to sellers promptly instead of dreaming up excuses to hang on to funds.

I'll just keep on listing here while I wait!
