    Didnt download anything on mine either..just went to the item. Can't understand why anything would be downloading from Ebay...does it download anything when you go any other web page?

    sorry i meant does your computer continue downloading anything to your computer while you are just web browsing or is it only on Ebay..go to that link posted by Intel and download ccleaner or if you can clear the cookies try that CONTROL PANEL>INTERNET OPTIONS>DELETE COOKIES & also DELETE FILES clear your history also...and maybe restart your computer and try again
