    To make you bid on it!! 'Look, other people want this. Now bid it up to more than its RRP, and we will make the profit!'

    The stupid blue box appears over the image

    So you either have to click it off or sit for 15 seconds and wait for it to vanish

    If there are a lot of people looking at the item I wouldn't bother bidding. I've bled my wants dry on the bay over the last ten years on e bay..hardly ever look now and rarely buy.

    Ive found on the bay that it doesent matter how many people are looking...its people bidding that matters. A lot of people just look out of curiosity,or maybe they have the same item and want to know what its worth. I have had 70/80 "watchers" and not one bid!! and how annoying is that?

    I used to sell on there... ive had hundreds of watchers on my items & in some cases hundreds have placed my item in their watch list to end up with just a single bid at end of listing.

    I thought it was malware...

    ebay is what it is. There are things that annoy me about it but quite honestly, if it weren't for ebay I wouldn't own the system I do now. Not that I bought it all off ebay, but it did help fund upgrades as I sold stuff on that I didn't need.

    When I was bidding on a rare item I used to love looking at other bidders purchases and if they spent shedloads on similar items I would give up knowing I had no chance..sadly you cant do that now..

    Ebay dose just keep getting worse and worse.
    Both for the sellers and the buyers, it's getting to the point where the only one benefiting from most transactions is ebay.
