Looking at cars on Ebay,comes up as dirty pictures

Hi
I have just been on Ebay to look at cars just to get an idea of prices.
I typed in Ford Focus under the category cars, went into it, then selected cars and the first two listings were of very rude photos.
When you click into it, it throws you out, is it someone trying to get into your computer or what is it.
Never seen anything like this on there before.
Should I report it, if so how?
Jules

  • Definately, try it, it shocked me, I thought it would have been removed, I don't know how to report it.
  • Now I am concerned, they have now disappeared even though they had two days left and noone at this time of night from Ebay will have removed them.
    Does anyone think I may now have a virus as I went into what I thought were cars and they have now got into my computer, I don't know how this happens.

    I searched, and I just got pics of cars, to be honest...


    You can just report it by clicking on the link in the auction, or emailing ebay with the auction numbers

  • Oh how I wish I hadn't posted, now feel a bit of an idiot.
    I had done my search then it threw me out, spoke to one of my friends to say what had happened and searched again whilst speaking to her and they were still there but again threw me out and my screen was flashing.
    Then it has now disappeared.
    Believe that I am not crackers even though reading this back I sound it, I wish it was still there just so that others could see it and see that I am sane really, in hindsight I would have wrote down the item number but wasn't what I
