    How do they do what? It's an ebay listing.

    The music IMO is an appalling idea and puts people off. As for the right-click protection, it is a couple of lines of javascript but trivial to get round by holding the button down, presing the space bar then releasing the button.
  • I hate imbedded music in listings - I often browse ebay whilst playing a CD and this poor quality pap music makes my blood boil - maybe not quite as much as those awful listing with the wizard in them , but not far behind.
    I personally would not be able to put up with that sound and would not buy this item as I wouldn't want the page open for too long - sorry if this sounds like a rant but I find this sort of thing very intrusive

    Ebay will actually remove the listing if it has right click disabeled. They consider it interferring with the site interface!
