    ebay doesnt download, upload or even sideways load anything. It may have been a popup.

    does it not say anything about updaing your browser settings and you have to download something to do it, I had this the other day, turned out to be a glitch on Ebay, just had to refresh the page and was back to normal.

    Spikey did you click on a link in an email or did you go directly to https://www.ebay.co.uk from your web browser.
