Problems with https://mesg.ebay.com even with Adblock Paused

Post by Kiriakos-GR »

Hello to all, I am using Firefox 56 (64 bit) and since ten days ago at eBay website when I am accessing my messages, the URL changes to https://mesg.ebay.com , then no matter which Adblock plugin I use, and even if this is paused or has the eBay link at it excluding list (due my own addition) , the eBay frame with the message text, refuses to load.

Originally I thought that this was an issue of specific Adblock software, but it is not.
I am using Adblock Plus for years at my home computer with windows XP, at my office I am using faster desktop with Win 7 Pro Retail Box.
I have stick to Firefox 56 (64 bit) because I have plugins for passwords management and local storage, something that Firefox team changed at newer versions, and this is a no-go for me.
I do not trust their plans for on-line passwords storage.

The recent problem is that eBay senses even Adblock Plus, and the frame with eBay message this does not load and I can see only few words at the first line.
The only work around this is to manual disable Adblock Plus or other similar Adblock tools, and to reload the page.

I am using internet for 25 years, I have Microsoft IT education about windows and servers, this new issue overpass even my imagination of what is the real problem, or if this is a eBay scam so them to force users to disable their Adblock tools.

Does actually any one from the developers team READ our messages?
Because the reported issue is not going to go away by it self.

Adblock software is the one which should regain compatibility with eBay platform.

It's tricky to say what's causing this problem but since it affects multiple ad blockers, it sounds like a problem with the ad blocking rules that most of them are using.

So it'd be great if you could report this to the people at EasyList so that they can have a look into the problem. The easiest way to do this may be by using the "Report an issue on this page" feature in the icon popup of Adblock Plus. Another option is to reach out to them on via their forum] or their [url=https://github.com/easylist]GitHub.
